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

## Abstract A bioglassβcoated fully dense alumina total hip was evaluated in sheep without using polymer bone βcement.β After 3 months following surgery, both the acetabular cup and femoral stem component were firmly attached to bone. Histologic and radiographic analysis of the boneβimplant interfa
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
