Hydroxyapatite (HAp) coatings are used extensively on orthopaedic devices to improve the
adhesion of bone to the prosthesis. This approach increases the integrity and longevity of …

We investigated the effect of the Birmingham hip resurfacing (BHR) arthroplasty on the bone
mineral density (BMD) of the femur. A comparative study was carried out on 26 hips in 25 …

Eighty osteoarthritic female patients were randomly allocated to 4 equal groups; the Zwey-
Muller, the Corail, the Optifix, or Autophor 900S cementless total hip arthroplasties (THAs) …

Insertion of a metallic implant into the femur changes bone loading conditions and results in
remodeling of femoral bone. To quantify changes in bone mass after uncemented total hip …

Periprosthetic bone loss is a major cause of concern in patients undergoing total hip
arthroplasty (THA). Further studies are required to identify the factors determining the pattern …

Bone resorption in the proximal femur is commonly seen after total hip arthroplasty (THA).
With dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), the amount of bone mass (BMD) after …

Background Periprosthetic bone loss occurs around uncemented femoral stems and may be
influenced by the stem size. Patients and methods We studied 138 consecutive patients, 3 (2 …

Periprosthetic bone loss, especially in the proximal part of the femur, is common after
cemented and uncemented total hip arthroplasty (THA). Bone loss can be progressive and …

This work presents a computational model for bone remodelling around cementless stems.
The problem is formulated as a material optimisation problem considering the bone and …

The change in bone mineral density at the proximal tibia during 2 years after total knee
arthroplasty was studied in 28 knees (28 patients: 10 men and 18 women; median age: 71 …
