First principal strains from representative elements near the internal os, middle, and external os of the anterior and posterior cervical canal of the normal and short cervix models. Notice that higher strain levels persist farther toward the external os in the short cervix model, while strains quickly drop off in the normal cervix model as the distance from the internal os increases.
