Description
Philipp Kastner and co-authors test a fix for a crack that can form in the thigh bone during hip replacement surgery. The crack, shaped like a clamshell, sits near the top of the bone around the new stem. Their fix is a tight band placed just below the crack.
The team put stems in twenty pairs of human thigh bones from donors. In one of each pair they made the crack and placed the band; the other they left whole. Both sets were loaded again and again until they failed. The banded bones held up about as well as the whole ones, with no clear gap in cycles or load at loosening.
