Preparation of bone sections for tensile testing along the axis of the femoral neck (black arrow). (a) Femoral slice cut from the widest point of the femoral head 12 mm thick. (b) Arc sectioned using two more cuts, one along the edge of the fovea capitis (used as a reference point) and one at 90°. (d) Edge piece sectioned from the arc facing fovea and (e) section cut from the end closest to the chiasma along the axis of the femoral neck (12.0 × 2.8 × 1.0 mm).
