The displacement and stress distribution of the remaining femurs: a The stress was equally distributed, and no visible signs of stress concentration occurred in the remaining femur in Model#1 (by stem A). b Stress shielding can be observed at the femoral neck area in the remaining femur in Model#2 (by stem B). c Significant stress concentration can be observed in the remaining femur in model#3 (by stem C). d Remarkable stress concentration and high displacement can be both observed in the remaining femur in model#4 (by stem D)
