Abstract
Mechanical and biomechanical testing of a new bone cement suggests that improved load transfer to the proximal femur could be achieved with the combination of a cement having a lower modulus, a greater ductility and a lower creep resistance than polymethylmethacrylate and a suitably shaped femoral component.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
