Development of a density-based topology optimization of homogenized lattice structures for individualized hip endoprostheses and validation using micro-FE

Abstract Prosthetic implants, particularly hip endoprostheses, often lead to stress shielding because of a mismatch in compliance between the bone and the implant material, adversely affecting the implant’s longevity and effectiveness. Therefore, this work aimed to demonstrate a computationally effi...
