Numerical simulation of a crack emanating from a micro-cavity in the orthopedic cement by technical sub modeling of total hip prosthesis
In orthopedic surgery and particularly in the total hip arthroplasty (THP), the stem fixation is performed in general using surgical cement which consists essentially of poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). Fracture of cement and prosthesis loosening appears after high concentrations of stress. This p...
