## Abstract Bone loss around femoral hip stems is one of the problems threatening the longβterm fixation of uncemented stems. Many believe that this phenomenon is caused by reduced stresses in the bone (stress shielding). In the present study the mechanical consequences of different femoral stem ma

## Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of implantation of porousβcoated anatomic medullary fitting prostheses on stress in the proximal femur. Threeβdimensional finite element models of a cadaveric femur before and after implantation were used to evaluate the resulting c
## Abstract Use of combination adjuvant chemotherapies have improved the disease free survival rate of tumor patients significantly. However, studies have shown that chemotherapeutic agents have negative effects on bone graft incorporation and fixation of porouscoated prostheses needed for reconstr
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
