Influence of prosthesis design and implantation technique on implant stresses after cementless revision THR

Influence of prosthesis design and implantation technique on implant stresses after cementless revision THR

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Femoral offset influences the forces at the hip and the implant stresses after revision THR. For extended bone defects, these forces may cause considerable bending moments within the implant, possibly leading to implant failure. This...
