Fig. 7From: Stress distributions of the short stem and the tapered wedge stem at different alignments: a finite element analysis studyComparisons of the average values of strain energy density under the walking condition. a PROFEMUR® Preserve. b PROFEMUR® TL. The strain energy density during walking is nearly the same as the von Mises stress findings during walking. Those of zones 1 and 7 in the PROFEMUR® Reserve are very small.
