TL;DR: The paper focuses on the loading of the femoral implant component but complete data are additionally stored on an associated compact disc that contains complete gait and hip contact force data as well as calculated muscle activities during walking and stair climbing and the frequencies of daily activities observed in hip patients.

TL;DR: It is found that cell spreading, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are all enhanced in cells cultured in gels with faster relaxation, highlighting stress relaxation as a key characteristic of cell-ECM interactions and as an important design parameter of biomaterials for cell culture.

TL;DR: The presented approach is considered as a useful means to determine valid conditions for the analysis of prosthesis loading, bone modeling or remodeling processes around implants and fracture stability following internal fixation.

TL;DR: Proposals for the most demanding activities, the time courses of the contact forces and the required cycle numbers for testing are given here and it was shown that friction only very slightly influences the stresses in the implant neck and shaft.

TL;DR: A new method is proposed, the symmetrical CoR estimation or SCoRE, in which the coordinates of the joint centre must only remain constant relative to each segment, thus not requiring the assumption that one segment should remain at rest.
