Migration within zero relative prosthesis-bone motion protocol. Box-Plots of migration measured using MBRSA and the zero relative prosthesis-bone motion protocol, the higher (ATOS II, white box) [38] and lower digitizing resolution RE models (ATOS I, gray box) are both shown. Gray background colored plots represents in-plane, white plots out-of-plane motion. The boxes bound the 25th to 75th percentile, the whisker bars show smallest and largest observe values. The horizontal line of the boxes represented median value, the dashed lines indicate bounding range of RSA accuracy reported in literature (i.e. between 0.05 to 0.5 mm, and between 0.15 to 1.15 deg) (Valstar et al. 2002, Kaptein et al. 2003). Migration is shown in (A) medio-lateral, (C) superior-inferior, and (E) anterior-posterior translation as well as for rotation about the (B) medio-lateral, (D) superior-inferior, and (F) anterior-posterior axes. Significant differences were calculated by two-factor ANOVA (p < 0.05), as well as the effects within a pairwise comparisons of the digitizing resolution in context to the dependent variables (x, y, z, Rx, Ry, Rz) were presented by a bold star on top of a bracket.
