As a cushion, a piece of absorbent cotton was placed between the femoral region and the fixation plate, and a stainless steel cylinder weighing 1.02–1.03 kg and measuring 19 mm and 50 cm in diameter and length, respectively, with a silicon stopper measuring 10 mm in diameter, was placed on the skin of the right greater trochanter (1.30 to 1.31 kg/cm2).
