A FE study on the effect of interference fit and coefficient of friction on the micromotions and interface gaps of a cementless PEEK femoral component

The use of a more compliant material, such as polyetheretherketone (PEEK), for a cementless femoral component is a potential solution to prevent aseptic loosening caused by peri-prosthetic stress-shielding. Long-term fixation of a cementless femoral component is achieved by a proper primary fixation...
