Nonlinear, three-dimensional, finite element models of cemented femoral hip components with a proximal stem-cement bond were developed with use of a Charnley stem geometry and a modified Charnley stem geometry that had a cylindrical cross section over the distal two-thirds of the stem (Distal-Round)

In viva bone behaviour predictions with respect to altered loading conditions, im@tts, and endq~ostheses are highly desirable to avoid untoward ejkts such as implant loosening and breahage. This hnowle&e does not rebate only to the result but also to the mechanssms of bone a&nation and bone growth,
## Abstract Malrotation of the femoral component may cause patellofemoral complications after total knee replacement (TKR). We hypothesized that femoral component malrotation would cause excessive lengthening of the retinacula. Retinacular length changes were measured by threading fine sutures alon
## 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
