Numerical Simulation of Electric Field Distribution around an Instrumented Total Hip Stem

Numerical Simulation of Electric Field Distribution around an Instrumented Total Hip Stem

Presently, total joint replacement (TJR) is a standard procedure in orthopedic surgery. Adequate osseointegration of the implant components still remains a clinical issue. However, active stimulation of bone tissue to enhance bone ongrowth at the implant surfaces has not been widely investigated so...
