Alternative Mechanical Evaluation Method for Ceramic Hip Joint Implants Utilizing Finite Element Analysis under in vivo-like Conditions

This study proposes an alternative mechanical simulation protocol for ceramic femoral heads under in vivo-like conditions. A 3D pelvis model is obtained from CT images and the finite elements of the implanted models are validated based on Kwong's experimental results. The stress distributio...
