Comparison of Various Functionally Graded Femoral Prostheses by Finite Element Analysis
Figure 4
Strain energy in the spongy portion of the proximal metaphysis of the femur due to the implantation of (a) normal walking-cemented prostheses, (b) normal walking-non-cemented prostheses, (c) stair climbing-cemented prostheses, and (d) stair climbing-non-cemented prostheses (the legend shows the radial volume fraction gradient exponent change). is radial volume fraction gradient exponent.
