Metal trays in tibial components of knee implants; contact stress and deflection behaviour

Research output: Contribution to journalConference articlepeer-review

Abstract

The role of thickness on peak subsurface shear stress was studied. The deflection behavior of the insert was examined and the influence of detail design of the insert retention mechanism on the response of the polymer to loading was considered. The peak stresses remained significantly higher than stress levels in the components without trays.
