Fig. 3

Comparative FE-stiffness, von Mises stress (> yield stress) and SED (> 200% optimum) of different configurations. It is observed that the stiffness values vary depending on the type of prosthetic design and the load direction in each applied position. Note: Boxplots are shown without outliers, for easier comparison across groups. Only values above the yield limit or 200% of the optimum SED are displayed, to demonstrate the fraction of overloaded regions only, corresponding to dark red regions in Figs. 5 and 6. Insets demonstrate bone regions with values above the yield limit or 200% of the optimum SED labelled in dark red for a selected configuration
