Aseptic loosening of femoral components – Materials engineering and design considerations

► Aseptic loosening of femoral component is associated with the deficiencies in engineering design. ► The main leading causes of loosening are wear behavior, bioactivity and mechanical properties. ► Functionally graded biomaterials have the potential to reduce the occurrence of leading causes. Asept...
