analysed model
bone structure, a permanent cortical bone perimeter with 0.5 mm thickness was
considered in the analysis.
The obtained trabecular distributions for each one of the control values are
presented in Fig.
7.66
. Notice that all the load cases, individually applied, predict
the drastic reduction of bone tissue on the femur head.
In order to obtain a closer result to the real implant/femur X-ray plate it is
necessary to simultaneously apply all load cases, Table
7.5
. The results of the
three load cases simultaneously applied are presented in Fig.
