Figure 1From: Effects of stemmed and nonstemmed hip replacement on stress distribution of proximal femur and implant The finite-element models used in this study. (A) The model with hip compression and muscular contractions. Four specific lines on the cortical surface were chosen as the comparison indices: anterior line aa, posterior line bb, medial line cc, and lateral line dd. (B) Four femora were simulated in this study: intact, stemmed, and two nonstemmed.Back to article page
