BoneStress app available

BoneStress is a new free app that allows orthopaedic surgeons to look at the effects of action and joint loading for different hip stem designs.  One of many factors considered when determining a hip implant is the angle of the neck of the femur. This app shows an interactive model for different hip stem designs and how they affect radial load in the bone. The app is designed specifically for orthopaedic surgeons who have a desire to better understand hip biomechanics and stem length implications, but it cannot be used for operative planning for individual patients.
