Effects of femoral bone defect morphology on initial polished tapered stem stability in massive defect model: a biomechanical study

Abstract Background Good outcomes have been reported in revision total hip replacement with massive segmental defects using impaction bone grafting with circumferential metal meshes. However, the morphology of defects that require a mesh is poorly defined. The purpose of this study was to evaluate t...
