Abstract: The stability of cementless acetabular cups depends on a close fit between the components and reamed acetabular cavities to promote bone ingrowth. Cup performance and stability are affected by ...

Abstract: Environmental variations in patient-dependent and surgical factors were modeled using robust optimization with a finite element acetabular cup-pelvis model. A previously developed statistical ...

Abstract: Computer simulations of orthopaedic devices can be prohibitively time consuming, particularly when assessing multiple design and environmental factors. Chang et al. (1999) address these computational ...
