Abstract A finite element model has been developed to predict in vivo micro motion between a modular acetabular cup and liner after cement less total hip arthroplasty.The purpose of this study is to experimentally validate the model.Six iphone 13 pro max price florida LVDT sensors were used to monitor the micromotion of the liner when subjected to loading acupatch conditions ranging from 250 N to 5000 N.Deformations at points of interest for both the experiment and FEM were compared.Results of the FEM with different coefficient of friction between the liner and the cup were investigated to correlate with the experimental results.
