A recent study conducted in Bari, Italy, examined the influence of different materials used in femoral stems on stress shielding in total hip arthroplasty. The study utilized finite element analysis to compare the mechanical behavior of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composites (CFRPCs) and Ti-6Al-4V. The results showed that using a material with mechanical characteristics similar to bone, such as CFRPC, promoted better load distribution and reduced the risk of stress shielding. This research suggests that customizing the material based on the patient's bone characteristics could lead to improved outcomes in hip arthroplasty. [Extracted from the article] |
