Abstract

BACKGROUND

Hemi-arthroplasty (HA) as a treatment for fractured neck of femur has slightly increased since 2019 and remarkably after the COVID pandemic. The main drawback of the treatment is ongoing cartilage deterioration that may require revision to THR.

OBJECTIVE

This study assessed cartilage surface damage in hip HA by reproducing anatomical motion and loading conditions in a hip simulator.
