Abstract:Porous metallic prosthesis components can now be manufactured using additive manufacturing techniques, and may prove beneficial for promoting bony ingrowth, for accommodating drug delivery systems, and for reducing stress shielding. Using finite element modeling techniques, 36 scenarios (three porous stems, three bone densities, and four held arm positions) were analysed to assess the viability of porous humeral stems for use in total shoulder arthroplasty, and their resulting mechanobiological impact on the s… Show more
