Stress distributions of the short stem and the tapered wedge stem at different alignments: a finite element analysis study

Stress distributions of the short stem and the tapered wedge stem at different alignments: a finite element analysis study

Abstract Background The mechanical effects of stem length reduction and stem alignment on the surrounding femur remain unknown. This study directly compared the stress distribution on the surrounding femur of existing tapered wedge stems and short stems and examined the properties of stress distribu...
