Design and finite element analysis of femoral stem prosthesis using functional graded materials.

Published in Computer Methods in Biomechanics & Biomedical Engineering

Conventionally biometals were used for design and development of bioimplants. However, the Young's Modulus (YM) of these bioimplants is higher than that of a natural bone. Asymmetric load transfer from a bone to the bioimplant results in aseptic loosening and stress shielding. Here-in, the use of functionally graded materials (FGM) has been introdu...
