Highly porous ingrowth surfaces have been introduced into tibial tray fixation to improve long-term survivorship in cementless total knee arthroplasty. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of porous ingrowth surface on primary stability in the implanted cementless tibial component. Three tibial tray designs possessing sintered bead or roughened porous coating ingrowth surfaces were implanted into a foam tibia model with primary stability assessed via digital image correlation during stair descent and condylar liftoff loading.

Press-fit acetabular components are susceptible to rim deformation. The inherent variability within acetabular reaming techniques may generate increased press-fit and, subsequently, additional component deformation. The purpose of this study was to analyze the insertion and deformation characteristics of acetabular components designed for dual-mobility systems based on component design, size, and reaming technique.

Background: Short-stemmed femoral components facilitate reduced exposure surgical techniques while preserving native bone. A clinically successful stem should ideally reduce risk for stress shielding while maintaining adequate primary stability for biological fixation. We asked (1) how stem-length changes cortical strain distribution in the proximal femur in a fit-and-fill geometry and (2) if short-stemmed components exhibit primary stability on par with clinically successful designs.

Prosthetic alignment, patient characteristics, and implant design are all factors in long-term survival of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), yet the level at which each of these factors contribute to implant loosening has not been fully described. Prior clinical and biomechanical studies have indicated tibial overload as a cause of early TKA revision. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between tibial component design and bone resection on tibial loading.

Limited experimental data exist comparing the mechanical response of the tibial cortex between fixed and rotating platform (RP) total knee arthroplasty (TKA), particularly in the revision setting. We asked if RP-TKA significantly affects tibiofemoral torque and cortical stain response in both the primary and revision settings. Fixed and RP tibial trays were implanted into analogue tibias and biomechanically tested under axial and torsional loading.

With increased precision in alignment offered by new generations of instrumentation and customized guides, this study was designed to establish a biomechanically-based target alignment for the balance of tibial loading in order to diminish the likelihood of pain and subsidence related to mechanical overload post-UKA. Sixty composite tibias were implanted with Oxford UKA tibial components with varied sagittal slope, resection depth, rotation and medial shift using patient matched instrumentation. Digital image correlation and strain gage analysis was conducted in static loading to evaluate strain distribution as a result of component alignment.

Initial stability with limited micromotion in uncemented total hip arthroplasty acetabular components is essential for bony attachment and long-term biomechanical fixation. This study compared porous titanium fixation surfaces to clinically established, plasma-sprayed designs in terms of interface stability and required seating force. Porous plasma-sprayed modular and metal-on-metal (MOM) cups were compared to a modular, porous titanium designs.

Clinical success of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is on the rise and is dependent on multiple patient, implant, and surgical factors. Tibial subsidence has been clinically reported as a cause of failure in UKA with an all-polyethylene tibial design in the absence of metal backing, yet the role of metal backing UKA tibial components on tibial loading is not fully understood. In this study, composite tibiae were implanted with medial all-polyethylene fixed-bearing or metal-backed UKA tibial components and a 1.

A 3-dimensional finite element model was used to study pin fixation in simulated unstable extra-articular distal radius fractures. Bone geometry and material properties were generated from computed tomography. The model was validated in cadaver testing.
