Abstract

Biomechanical testings are essential to the research process. However, understanding the assumptions, inevitable part of engineering solution as it translates to clinical outcomes is paramount to the iterative process in implant design. Therefore, it is critical to consider that beneficial biomechanical data may not actually yield good clinical outcomes.
