Photographs and surface contour maps of the telescopic region of two MAGEC rods. Each rod was mapped twice with serial traces taken at 10° and 1° interval in the visible worn and the most worn regions, respectively. The surface maps corresponded to the visible wear in the first rod (a), while the surface maps of the second rod failed to depict the actual wear profile (b)
