## 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

## Abstract Fibrous polyurethane samples were implanted in subcutaneous tissue, muscle, and as an arterial prosthesis for periods up to six months. The interface between the polymer and living tissue was studied using optical, scanning, and transmission electron microscopy. A good correlation was f
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
