Table 1 Comparison of Microstrains for Cadaver and Sawbones[R] Femurs (Sawbones[R] at 15[degrees] Adduction, Cadaver Adductions Adjusted for Parallel Neck Orientation) Maximum Inferior Anterior Posterior Specimen Superior Strain Strain Strain Strain Cadaver 1000 -5500 500 300 1100 -4000 450 1000 3000 * -8000 * 650 * 1220 * Sawbones[R] 1100 -4050 -50 -880 1050 -3900 10 -920 950 -4200 -30 -790 * Femur was osteoporotic on radiograph.

They were then oriented at 15 [degrees] of adduction (approximate coronal position of hip at normal heel strike) and loaded to 1400 N.
