TiNbSn stems with gradient changes of Young’s modulus and stiffness reduce stress shielding compared to the standard fit-and-fill stems

TiNbSn stems with gradient changes of Young’s modulus and stiffness reduce stress shielding compared to the standard fit-and-fill stems

Abstract Background The difference between Young’s moduli of the femur and the stem causes stress shielding (SS). TiNbSn (TNS) stem has a low Young’s modulus and strength with gradient functional properties during the change in elastic modulus with heat treatment. The aim of this study was to invest...
