Bone remodelling around a stem is an unavoidable long-term physiological process highly
related to implant design. For some predisposed patients, it can lead to periprosthetic bone …

Purpose On the basis of positive clinical results with mid-and long-term follow-up using the
Mayo short stem, the Metha neck-preserving stem (BBraun, Aesculap, Tuttlingen, Germany) …

Purpose Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has become a highly frequent orthopaedic procedure.
Multiple approaches have been made to design the femoral component for THA with a …

The main objective of this study is to design titanium alloy femoral stems with cubic porous
structures that will be able to reduce stress shielding and promote stem stability. These …

Background Congenital hip dysplasia may lead to severe acetabular and femoral
abnormalities that can make total hip arthroplasty a challenging procedure. We assessed a …

Background and purpose Hydroxyapatite (HA) is widely used as a coating for uncemented
total hip arthroplasty components. This has been suggested to improve implant ingrowth and …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to examine the concept of proximal load initiation of
a total short-stemmed hip arthroplasty (Metha® BBraun, Aesculap, Tuttlingen, Germany) on …

The incapability of controlling relative micromotions and load transfers to a peri-prosthetic
femur shortens implant longevity. This study aims to evaluate the possibility of applying …

Acetabular and femoral abnormalities make total hip arthroplasty in developmental hip
dysplasia a challenging procedure. We present details of long-term follow-up of a series of …

Background and objective Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease caused by a high rate of bone
tissue loss, and it is a major cause of bone fracture. In contemporary society, osteoporosis is …
