## Abstract Aseptic loosening of cemented total hip replacements is thought to involve mechanical failure of the cementโbone interface. However, the mechanical response of the interface, particularly the postโyield, behavior, is not well understood. The purpose of this study was to determine the co

## Abstract Loosening is recognized as one of the primary sources of total hip replacement (THR) failure. In this study the influence of the bone surface texture on loosening of the cement/bone interface was studied. Model cemented hip replacements were prepared and subjected to cyclic loads that i
## Abstract Fatigue damage from activities of daily living has been considered to be a major cause of aseptic loosening in cemented total hip arthroplasty. The cementโbone interface is one region where loosening could occur, but to date the fatigue response of the interface has not been examined. C
## Abstract Loss of fixation at the cementโbone interface is known to contribute to aseptic loosening, but little is known about the mechanical damage response of this interface. An in vitro study using cementโbone specimens subjected to shear fatigue loading was performed, and the progression of s
The conventional formulation used in the past for problems involving interface cracks leads to a physical contradiction: The two sides of the crack are assumed to be free of tractions in the formulation, but the crack faces are seen to overlap after the solution is constructed. This unsatisfactory f
