Abstract
Six pairs of human cadaver femora were divided equally into two groups one of which received a non-cemented reference implant and the other a very short non-dependent experimental implant. Thirteen strain-gauge rosettes were attached to the external surface of each specimen and, during application of combined axial and torsional loads to the femoral head, the strains in both groups were measured.
