Minimal Influence on Muscle Strength and Patient Reported Outcome Measures by Conjoined Tendon Detachment in Anterolateral Muscle-Sparing Total Hip Arthroplasty
The conjoined external rotator tendon (CERT), composed of the tendons of the gemellus superior, obturator internus (OI), and gemellus inferior muscles, stabilizes the hip joint. The study investigates the clin...

Open AccessTiNbSn stems with gradient changes of Young’s modulus and stiffness reduce stress shielding compared to the standard fit-and-fill stems
The difference between Young’s moduli of the femur and the stem causes stress shielding (SS). TiNbSn (TNS) stem has a low Young’s modulus and strength with gradient functional properties during the change in e...
