Fig 8 — Regions of permanent deformation of the stem surface profile were identified by superimposing the profile of the stem taper interface after disassembly on the initial stem taper profile. The original shape (red transparent surface) was deformed after assembly with 8000 N (green surface). The ridge height was reduced. Note that the axes are not equally scaled, so that the height and curvature of the wave are exaggerated.
