Illustration of the cortical strain measurement set-up. R0 to R6 show the positions of the strain gauge rosettes. R1 was attached medially at the level of the lesser trochanter and R4 laterally below the greater trochanter. The level of the middle section (R2 & R5) was 40 mm proximal and the distal rosettes (R3 & R6) were bonded 20 mm distal to the tip of the implant. R0 was attached medially 4 mm below the calcar osteotomy
