Feasibility of a Shape-Memory-Alloy-Actuator System for Modular Acetabular Cups

Hip implants have a modular structure which enables patient-specific adaptation but also revision of worn or damaged friction partners without compromising the implant-bone connection. To reduce complications during the extraction of ceramic inlays, this work presents a new approach of a shape-memor...
