© 2017 Elsevier Ltd The incapability of controlling relative micromotions and load transfers to a peri-prosthetic femur shortens implant longevity. This study aims to evaluate the possibility of applying graded porous cobalt chromium (CoCr) to cementless femoral stems. 3D finite element analyses and...
