A novel hybrid design and modelling of a customised graded Ti-6Al-4V porous hip implant to reduce stress-shielding: An experimental and numerical analysis

Stress shielding secondary to bone resorption is one of the main causes of aseptic loosening, which limits the lifespan of hip prostheses and exacerbates revision surgery rates. In order to minimise post-hip replacement stress variations, this investigation proposes a low-stiffness, porous Ti6Al4V h...
