The data of calibrated CT-scans will be used for the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) analysis for SMR Short Stem in identified hospitals in EU and US as developers of the project and for further research, upon subject acceptance. In particular, the Quantitative Computer Tomography (QTC)/Finite Element Analysis (FEA) model of the assembly consisting of the shoulder and the orthopaedic implant allows detailed analyses including: * assessment of micromotion at the bone-implant interface, to predict osseointegration; * comparison of strains/stresses between the intact bone tissue and the bone with the implant in order to predict the stress shielding phenomenon.
