Experimental and analytical validation of a modular acetabular prosthesis in total hip arthroplasty

<p>Abstract</p> <p>A finite element model has been developed to predict in vivo micro motion between a modular acetabular cup and liner after cement less total hip arthroplasty. The purpose of this study is to experimentally validate the model. Six LVDT sensors were used to monitor...
