Application of circular statistics in the study of crack distribution around cemented femoral components
2003
Abstract Cemented stem constructs were loaded in cyclic fatigue using stair climbing loading and the resulting fatigue damage to the cement mantle was determined in terms of angular position of crack and crack length. Techniques from circular statistics were used to determine if the distribution of micro-cracks was uniform. With a designated orientation of 0°–90°–180°–270° indicating lateral–anterior–medial–posterior anatomic directions, the overall distribution of cracks was not uniform ( p p
