The effect of humeral implant thickness and canal fill on interface contact and bone stresses in the proximal humerus

Background: Stem size is an important element for successful time zero primary fixation of a press-fit humeral stem in shoulder arthroplasty. Little basic science research, however, has been conducted on the effects of implant thickness and canal fill on load transfer, contact, and stress shielding....
