6 Conclusions Extensive research activity is currently in progress worldwide to develop tissue engineering constructs for the repair of both soft and hard tissues. The combination of expertise in multidisciplinary environments will be a key factor in the development of clinical products. Biomaterials with tuned physicochemical properties will need to be made available to provide efficient encapsulation systems for cells. The use of bioactive molecules, either grafted to the scaffold or released from it in a controlled manner, seems also to be necessary to control repair of the damaged tissues.

The imposition of what are called the boundary conditions, is an extremely important part of the problem. The boundary conditions are in fact an integral part of the mathematical model that FEM solves: an erroneous choice of the boundary conditions will lead to incorrect results, irrespective of everything else. In our sample problem, we have chosen boundary conditions driven mainly by simplicity: in doing this, many important features of the problem have been disregarded: the load from the acetabular part is not a point load, but rather a distributed load, and something analogous can be said about the constraint we have applied at the prosthesis base.
