Prosthesis Design and Stress Profile after Hip Resurfacing: A Finite Element Analysis
Purpose. To evaluate the effect of prosthesis design on stress profile in the proximal femur after hip resurfacing. Methods. The von Mises stress profile of the native femur was simulated and compared with that of resurfaced femurs using various prosthetic materials (titanium, cobalt-chrome, ceramic...
