Table 1. Measured relative micromotions at the bone sections Δ_b1,b2 to Δ_b5,b6 are shown for intact bone Group E and for all implant groups (A-D) described as means and standard deviation (±SD).

The applied varus-valgus torque is separated into lateral and medial load condition to analyze bending bone deformation.

Significant differing deformation in a specific bone section vs. Group E with p<0.05 are highlighted with a “*”.
