Formation of a fibrous tissue at the bone/implant interface (original) (raw)
Abstract
A model of the tissue differentiation at the bone-implant interface is proposed. The basic hypothesis of the model is that the mechanical environment determines the tissue differentiation. The stimulus chosen is related to the bone-implant micromotions. Equations describing the evolution of the interfacial tissue are proposed and combined with a finite element code to determine the evolution of the fibrous tissue around prostheses for clinical situations. The model is applied to a simplified case of a hip prosthesis.
