High incidences of early aseptic loosening cases have led to numerous analyses on fixation strength of femoral component (FC). This study consists of two objectives: to analyze the correlation between articulating contact area shape conformities and fixation strength, and (2) to analyze the relationship between slanting box patterns of the FC and fixation strength. Two design analyses were constructed: first, using three different types of contact congruence with radius ratios of 0.50, 0.89 and flat. Second, box patterns of the FC were anteriorly slanted at 2, 4 and 6°. The fixation strength of the FC is significantly improved (38.59%) by slanting the box pattern anteriorly as compared to the non-slanted FC design. © 2023 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
