- This study investigated the effect of using large femoral head sizes, on stresses in the acetabular cement mantle and pelvic bone following cemented total hip arthroplasty. The findings have practical significance explaining the higher hip-joint failure rates currently associated with larger femoral heads. Recommendations regarding head size and the use of cemented acetabular cups, particularly for higher weight patients, are presented. The output will modify surgical practice led by the last author. The research was supervised by Alonso and Bailey & involved a PhD student and a PDRA. The research won first prize at the Wrightington Gold Medal Research Day.
