Fig. 9From: Finite element modeling of proximal femur with quantifiable weight-bearing area in standing positionComparison of principle stress changes in different loading conditions on path α. a Stress magnitude and distribution in proximal femur FE models among three different loading conditions had significant differences (p < 0.05); the loading case A (quantized weight-bearing area) was more in accordance with the hemipelvis-hip model. b Definition of path αBack to article page
