Great paper from my colleagues on the LifeLongJoints project (lifelongjoints.eu)… Enhancing the data required for effective testing in total hip replacements…
Concluding the authors note
There is a case that implant industry could be more demanding in its requirements for preclinical testing before introducing a new implant to market and further work is obviously needed to explore the consequences of the altered loading patterns on wear and ultimately the success or otherwise of a hip arthroplasty.
