A cementless, proximally fixed anatomic femoral stem induces high micromotion with nontraumatic femoral avascular necrosis: A finite element study

Decrease in bone mineral density of metaphysis in patients with nontraumatic avascular necrosis of the femoral head (AVN) is considered the main factor leading to aseptic loosening of the femoral component. Researchers have hypothesized that a cementless, anatomic stem fixed proximally to the metaph...
