Incorporation of interference fit and cyclic loading in simulation algorithm for better prediction of micromotion of femoral stems
Aseptic loosening is one of the major causes for revision surgery in hip arthroplasty. This has been attributed to failure in achieving strong primary fixation. Interface micromotion beyond a certain threshold limit inhibits bone ingrowth and favours the formation of fibrous tissue. In this study, a...
