Mechanical behaviour of umbrella-shaped, Ni-Ti memory alloy femoral head support device during implant operation: a finite element analysis study.
A new instrument used for treating femoral head osteonecrosis was recently proposed: the umbrella-shaped, Ni-Ti memory femoral head support device. The device has an efficacy rate of 82.35%. Traditional radiographic study provides limited information about the mechanical behaviour of the support dev...
