Computational Biomechanics of the Hip Joint By: Mohammed Rafiq Abdul Kadir Publisher: Springer Print ISBN: 9783642387760, 3642387764 eText ISBN: 9783642387777, 3642387772 Copyright year: 2014 Format: EPUB Available from $ 69.99 USD SKU 9783642387777 This book presents analyses of the most commonly reported failure modes of hip stems: loosening and thigh pain; both are attributed to the relative motion and instability at the bone-implant interface due to failure to achieve sufficient primary fixation. The book investigates various factors that could affect primary stability and therefore the long-term outcome of hip arthroplasty. The results complement experimental work carried out in this area as in-vitro experiments have several limitations that could be addressed through computer simulations.
