Abstract:Fatigue behavior of hip prostheses is usually assessed experimentally, through the implementation of mechanical tests according to International Technical Standards. Based on FE elastic-linear simulations, this study aims at investigating the stress resulting from loading conditions which are slightly different from the reference condition indicated in the ISO7206-4:2010 but which are reasonable from both a clinical and biomechanical point of view. Main results are reported and suggestions delivered for the as… Show more
