Effects of prosthesis stem lengths and tapers on stress distribution in cemented hip arthroplasty
Stress shielding and bone remodeling effects are critical issues in considering the biomechanics of femur that has undergone total hip replacement (THR). Stress shielding occurs when local stress distribution in the presence of the prosthesis is lower than that observed with intact femur. In this st...
