Shortening cemented femoral implants. An in vitro investigation to quantify exeter femoral implant rotational stability vs simulated implant length
Wilson, Lance J., Roe, John A., Pearcy, Mark J., & Crawford, Ross W. (2012) Shortening cemented femoral implants. An in vitro investigation to quantify exeter femoral implant rotational stability vs simulated implant length. Journal of Arthroplasty, 27(6), pp. 934-939.
Abstract
The Exeter stems vary in length from 90 to 150 mm. The shorter stems generally have lower offsets. The purpose of this study was to determine if length of stem, with fixed offset, affected rotational stability. Mechanical testing was carried out on 10 implant-cement constructs with 2 loading profiles, rising from chair and stair climbing, at different simulated implant lengths using purpose-built apparatus. This paper presents a mechanism for clinically observed rotational stability and explains the mechanical characteristics required for rotational stability in Exeter femoral stems. © 2012.

Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
