Mandrel-grown, mesh-reinforced vascular prostheses require adequate tissue coverage of the mesh for effective clinical function, particularly in low blood flow situations. Development of the ovine collagen-based Omni-flow™ vascular prosthesis has shown that the extent of this tissue cover is depende

Retrieval studies suggest that the loosening process of the cemented femoral components of total hip arthroplasties is initiated by failure of the bond between the prosthesis and the cement mantle. Finite element (FE) analyses have demonstrated that stem-cement debonding has stressproducing effects
With the resurgence of the use of bone cement in total hip arthroplasty, a renewed interest in techniques or designs that may reduce cement fixation failure has arisen. Analysis of the stresses at the tip of the prosthesis may suggest strategies to reduce loosening. This study analyzed stresses in t
