Probabilistic finite element analysis of the uncemented hip replacement-effect of femur characteristics and implant design geometry [PDF]
In the present study, a probabilistic finite element tool was assessed using an uncemented total hip replacement model. Fully bonded and frictional interfaces were investigated for combinations of three proximal femurs and two implant designs, the ...

Microfilm Coatings: A Biomaterial-Based Strategy for Modulating Femoral Deflection
Wear on the surface of the femoral head increases the risk of hip and femur fractures. Biomechanical experiments conducted on the femur are based on its bending and torsional rigidities. Studies regarding the deflection of the femur bone when the femoral
