Two conflicting theories exist concerning the stress pattern for the proximal lateral aspect of the human femur. According to the classic theory of Pauwels, a bending moment on the femur leads to compression medially and to tension laterally. The alternative theory is that muscle forces contribute t
This study investigated strain distribution changes in the proximal femur after implantation of a flexible composite femoral component (carbon composite material, modulus of elasticity = 18.6 GPa), a titanium alloy implant (E = 100 GPa), and a stainless steel implant (E = 200 GPa). Transverse as wel
