Stem subsidence and compressive force at the cement-bone interface. Stem subsidence in each period was defined as the mean of values in the two consecutive files (20,000 data sets) after the start of each period. The compressive force in each period was defined as the mean of the collected 960 maximum values of sine waves in the two consecutive files after the start of each period. 57 (3 periods x 19 days) averaged values were used for analysis of stem subsidence and the compressive force, respectively.
