in contrast with blaimont , oh and harris statements ( after insertion of a conventional femoral component with an oblique setting over the femoral neck and a short stem , the pattern of strain in the proximal part of the femur is reversed compared with that in the intact femur , the maximum strain occuring around the tip of the prosthesis rather than at the calcar femorale ) , the authors found that a dihedral foundation -- with an horizontal setting of the prosthesis over the calcar -- , and a long stem do not reverse the normal pattern of strain in the femur .
