title: Factors controlling optimal bone ingrowth of total hip replacement components.
abstract: The major factors dealing with optimization of bony ingrowth for total hip replacement have been shown by experimental and limited clinical experience to be apposition, pore size, rigid initial fixation, the type of bone surface, weight bearing, biocompatibility, remodeling, bone grafting, other forms of stimuli, and the distinctions between the human response and the response of the experimental animals.
