  • Modeling the debonding process of osseointegrated implants due to coupled adhesion and friction

    Publikacja

    - Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology - Rok 2023

    Cementless implants have become widely used for total hip replacement surgery. The long-term stability of these implants is achieved by bone growing around and into the rough surface of the implant, a process called osseointegration. However, debonding of the bone–implant interface can still occur due to aseptic implant loosening and insufficient osseointegration, which may have dramatic consequences. The aim of this work is to...
