Figure 2From: A biomechanical assessment of modular and monoblock revision hip implants using FE analysis and strain gage measurementsCAD models for hip implants alone (Construct A). (a) Modular and (b) Monoblock devices were each placed in rigid blocks distally and then proximally subjected to 700 and 2000 N axial loads using a flat plate during FE analysis. The same flat plate was used in applying load in FE analysis for the hip implant-femur (Construct B). Large arrows show vertical load direction.Back to article page
