Microsection analysis of cortical form-fit of a custom femoral component in total hip arthroplasty: an in vitro study
Custom femoral components have been developed for total hip arthroplasty to maximize cortical form-fit and thereby to reduce the problems of stress shielding and aseptic loosening. Limited information is available about how much endosteal cortical contact can actually be achieved with these expensiv...
