Cement thickness of at least 2 mm is generally associated with more favorable results for the femoral component in cemented hip arthroplasty. However, French-designed stems have shown favorable outcomes even with thin cement mantle. The biomechanical behaviors of a French stem, Charnley-Marcel-Kerboull (CMK) and cement were researched in this study. Six polished CMK stems were implanted into a composite femur, and one million times dynamic loading tests were performed. Stem subsidence and the compressive force at the bone-cement interface were measured. Tantalum ball (ball) migration in the cement was analyzed by micro CTObjective
