The Effect of Patient-Related Factors on the Primary Fixation of PEEK and Titanium Tibial Components: A Population-Based FE Study

The Effect of Patient-Related Factors on the Primary Fixation of PEEK and Titanium Tibial Components: A Population-Based FE Study

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is of interest as implant material for cementless tibial total knee arthroplasty (TKA) components due to its potential advantages. One main advantage is that the stiffness of PEEK closely resembles the stiffness of bone, potentially avoiding peri-prosthetic stress-shieldi...
