A fatigue assessment technique for modular and pre-stressed orthopaedic implants
Orthopaedic implants experience large cyclic loads, and pre-clinical analysis is conducted to ensure they can withstand millions of loading cycles. Acetabular cup developments aim to reduce wall thickness to conserve bone, and this produces high pre-stress in modular implants. As part of an implant...
