The aim was to get a better understanding of the force transmission during impaction scenarios in hip arthroplasty - in this specific case the assembly of the head taper junction. After validation with measurement data, simulation of a larger range of responding tissue properties than experimentally possible and the investigation of the influence of different surgical instruments could be performed.https://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-3.0force attenuationimpactiontotal hip arthroplastyTHAnumerical simulationMedicine, HealthEngineering and Applied OperationsResearch Software10.15480/882.928710.15480/882.928710.1371/journal.pone.0303682
