Background: Short-stem (SS) prostheses require less resection of the femoral neck, produce
a more physiological load pattern in the proximal femur, reduce stress shielding, and aid …

Aims Short-stemmed femoral implants have been used for total hip arthroplasty (THA) in
young and active patients to conserve bone, provide physiological loading, and reduce the …

Aseptic loosening is a common cause of revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA), and with the
rising number of primary THAs, revisions for aseptic loosening represent a significant …

Over the last two decades, several conservative femoral prostheses have been designed.
The goals of conservative stems include: the spearing of the trochanteric bone stock; a more …

Purpose This study aims to determine whether changing the stem coating grants superior
outcomes at a minimum follow-up of five years. Methods Retrospective review of a …

Innovative hip implants should be designed in accordance with biomechanical models of the
proximal femur and take into account both body weight and muscle action in order to …

Introduction The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of short stem
implants for primary total hip arthroplasty in middle-aged patients. For this purpose, a meta …

Purpose Short-stem hip arthroplasty has the potential advantage of femoral bone stock
preservation, especially in view of the expected revisions in the often relatively young …

Background Residual complications of conventionally implanted hip components have only
been partially reduced by improved implant design and higher surgical precision, and their …

Background The uncemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) has become the choice for many
hip surgeons. Although conventional uncemented femoral components have a proven track …
