    Abstract

    The development of a stem design for a total hip replacement that conserves the femoral neck by a higher femoral cut was discussed. Computerized tomography (CT) scans were taken of a femur from a female patient and imported into edge detection software MIMIC. The bone model defined the cortical and cancellous regions and consisted of 161390 hexahedral elements and 174844 nodes. Prostheses were inserted into the bone at 135°, 145°, and 125° to the femoral shaft and the surface strains measured.
