From: Simulation of the mechanical interlocking capacity of a rough bone implant surface during healing
Load bearing capacity. a Maximum interfacial shear strength of the three surfaces simulated in the 3D FEA model. b Theoretical removal torque calculated according to Eq. (2) compared to the mean removal torque value found by Halldin et al. [27]. c The ratio (test/control) of the simulated interfacial shear strength and the mean of the corresponding removal torque ratios of the in vivo study by Halldin et al. [27].
