Quantification of assembly forces during creation of head-neck taper junction considering soft tissue bearing: a biomechanical study
Abstract Background All current total hip arthroplasty (THA) systems are modular in design. Only during the operation femoral head and stem get connected by a Morse taper junction. The junction is realized by hammer blows from the surgeon. Decisive for the junction strength is the maximum force acti...
