The effect of modular stems and cement fixation techniques on the initial stability of the tibial prosthesis and the strain distribution within the proximal tibia in primary and revision total knee arthroplasty

<i>AIMS:</i> The primary aim of this thesis was to determine what effect modular intramedullary stems of differing lengths have on the initial stability experienced by the tidial tray and the strain magnitude experienced within the proximal tibia due to the differing modular stems in a p...
