Ex vivo measurement of bone-implant micromotions in cementless total hip arthroplasty
This project aims to develop and validate a method for quantifying micromotions of cementless femoral stems using ex vivo mechanical compression testing combined with postoperative quantitative computed tomography (QCT) imaging. The resulting experimental data will serve as a basis for validating finite element simulations of bone-implant mechanics, ensuring accurate modelling of micromotion behaviour in THA.
