Mean cortical stress distributions for the different FE models (Native, SHA and THA) in the proximal, metaphyseal and distal femoral regions. Asterisk (*) indicates significance to the CLS-primary (p < 0.05).

Clear reduction of the cortical stress after SHA and THA with high unloading of the proximal region. Notable, SHA shows a significantly improved loading of femur and a clearly improved metaphyseal loading compared to THA
