Overall percentage reduction in periprosthetic stress and strain for femurs implanted with stemmed implants relative to a PS implanted femur
| Model | Stem length (mm) | Decrease in von Mises stress (%) | Decrease in equivalent strain (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| PS | N/A | 0.0 | 0.0 |
| TS short | 50 | 10.9 | 10.0 |
| TS medium | 75 | 25.7 | 25.5 |
| TS long | 100 | 28.7 | 29.3 |
Where for each femur, values of stress and strain are calculated based on the average of the four cortical points of interest
