| Research Abstract |
The purpose of the present study was to develop total hip replacement (THA) using shape-memory alloy (SMA). Finite element method and in vitro experiments were conducted to represent the excellent in initial stability of it. As a result, the effectiveness of THA that used SMA from both sides of theoretical (finite element analysis) and experimental (in vitro experiment) was able to be shown in the present study. In addition, the device to research was established.
