"OSTEOINTEGRATED" IMPLANT WITH PARTIAL OSTEOINTEGRATION

In this case the "osteointegrated" implant model is identical to the basic model in terms of discretization, loads and mechanical characteristics, but only differs because a volume of cancellous bone, rather than cortical bone, has been reconstructed around the inner part of the prosthetic stem.
This model does not have a true physical significance, given that it is assumed that complete osteointegration has occurred between the superior cortical bone and the implant, whereas the lower part of the implant is embedded in cancellous bone.
However, this analysis is useful because it provides an additional comparison with the tripod implant model, fully embedded in cancellous bone, and offers a means of visualising the portion of load which, over time, will be sustained by newly formed internal cortical bone.
