Cancellous and cortical bone mineral density around an elastic press-fit socket in total hip arthroplasty: A prospective 2-year follow-up study using quantitative CT BMD measurements in 25 patients

Background and purpose — The acetabular component has remained the weakest link in hip arthroplasty for achievement of long-term survival. One of the possible explanatory factors for acetabular failure has been acetabular stress shielding. For this, we investigated the effects of a cementless elasti...
