Finite element analysis of circumferential crack behavior in cement-femoral prosthesis interface

Investigating the crack behavior in the cement mantle can improve total hip replacement performance by lessening the effects of crack failure and femoral prosthesis loosening. This study analyzed the behavior of the internal circumferential cracks located in the cement layer of the cement-prosthesis...
