Abstract
An axisymmetric finite element model of the soft gap tissue and surrounding cancellous bone was developed to analyse the biomechanical behaviour of the environment surrounding the implant. Both isotropic linear and biphasic representations of constitutive behaviour for the
tissues were considered. The biphasic approach models the tissue as a control system of a solid and a fluid "perfusant". The work presented assumes a technological significance for rational design of load bearing implants.
