Micromechanical modeling of the contact stiffness of an osseointegrated bone–implant interface

Abstract Background The surgical success of cementless implants is determined by the evolution of the biomechanical properties of the bone–implant interface (BII). One difficulty to model the biomechanical behavior of the BII comes from the implant surface roughness and from the partial contact betw...
