FE-predicted versus experimentally-measured strains for Construct A at 2000 N. Positive values indicate tension, while negative values indicate compression. The slope and linearity coefficients (R2) of the line-of-best-fit for all Modular and proximal Monoblock strain gages are given. Perfect agreement between FE and experiments would yield slope = 1 and R2 = 1. Outliers are gage Locations 3, 4, 7, and 8 on the distal portion of the Monoblock stem which demonstrated exaggerated experimental strain due to femoral ball movement in the medial direction under the load application plate.
