Abstract
Conclusions: The lateral contour of the Chinese femur is like a hockey stick. This exaggerated sagittal bowing in the Chinese femur can affect the final sagittal position of the femoral component and has implications for the choice of implant design. In revision setting, a long and straight press-fit stem might either endanger the anterior cortex or deflect the femoral component to an abnormally extended position.
