Figure Legend:
The test jig. The round rectangular stem is shown cemented in the aluminum tube and held in the loading fixture. The Instron applied a compressive load to the torque arm, which was attached to the end of the stem and supported by a Delrin® block. This resulted in pure torsion being applied to the stem.

Figure Legend:
Representative torque-displacement plots for monotonic loading. Torque-displacement curves shown for one representative trial of each stem shape. Failure occurred at the first sharp decrease in torque. Loading was stopped once the stems reached 5deg of stem rotation.

Figure Legend:
Cycles to 5deg of stem rotation for cyclic loading. Mean (±1 SD) cycles to 5deg of stem rotation for seven trials of each stem shape. Significant differences (p<0.05) are indicated by a star (☆).
