Table 3.

Percentages of the femora that have either over- or underhang, with the over- and underhang amounts, respectively

Design family
A B C D E F
% Bones with component overhang 7.5 6.5 16.2 44.8 20.9 40.1
Overhang amount (mm) mean ± SD 1.2 + 0.7* 1.0 + 0.8a 1.9 + 1.3b 3.0 + 2.1c 1.9 + 1.4b 3.1 + 2.2c
% Bones with component underhang 92.5 93.5 83.8 45.2 79.1 59.9
Underhang amount (mm) mean ± SD −3.2 ± 2.4a −3.4 ± 2.5a −4.7 ± 3.1b −3.5 ± 2.7a −4.8 ± 3.1b −3.4 ± 2.8a
Pooled ML difference (mm) mean ± SD −2.9 ± 2.5a −3.0 ± 3.3a −3.7 ± 3.8b −0.6 ± 4.0C −3.2 ± 4.5ab −0.6 ± 4.6C

Pooled differences between component and bone ML dimensions are also indicated

Positive values indicate overhang; negative values indicate underhang
