Computational Biomechanics of the Hip Joint
This book presents analyses of the most commonly reported failure modes of hip stems: loosening and thigh pain; both are attributed to the relative motion and instability at the bone-implant interface due to failure to achieve sufficient primary fix

Preface
The number of people undergoing hip joint replacement surgery has increased over the past decades. In the UK alone, more than 60,000 total hip arthroplasties (THA) are performed annually, 15 % of which are performed in the younger age group (less than 57 years old) (Tennent and Goddard 2000). Most hip replacements are performed on patients suffering from osteoarthritis, a joint disease associated with the wearing away of the cartilage covering the
