## Abstract The human hip joint is capable of carrying loads exceeding several times body weight. The distribution of these loads over the loadβbearing cartilage surfaces in the hip is of considerable interest in terms of studying the behavior of cartilage under various loading conditions. A modifi

An accelerated cyclic loading corrosion test was used to determine the corrosion behavior of a commercial (GSP) and a prototype titanium hip prosthesis each with a modular neck. Four GSP and four prototype stems were subjected to a 2-Hz cyclic load ranging between 200 and 2,100 N for 1,000,000 cycle
A numerical optimization technique was used to improve the design of a coated, cementless hii3 prosthesis. The prosthesis was represented by a simple one-dimensional finite element model, and its diameter and coating thickness at various points were altered so as to minimize stress shielding while k
This work presents an alternative bearing surface in the field of total hip replacements. It is composed of a polymer composite polyether-ether-ketone (Peek) as the matrix and a carbon fibre as reinforcement. The authors carried out experimental research in order to investigate the formation of debr
A wooden femur model was used together with matched cementless experimental implants to investigate the influence of some design concepts on the stress distributions within the proximal femur model, with emphasis on the longitudinal stresses on the outer bone surface, because the longitudinal stress
