Cementless femoral stems are prone to stress shielding of the femoral bone, which is
caused by a mismatch in stiffness between the femoral stem and femur. This can cause …

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most successful surgical procedures1.
Contemporary cemented and cementless femoral components both have demonstrated …

Background Short stems in total hip arthroplasty (THA) have recently gained increasing
popularity, allowing mini-invasive exposures and bone-sparing approaches. However, long …

Introduction The principle of implanting a calcar-guided short stem consists of an individual
alignment alongside the medial calcar providing the ability of reconstructing varus and …

Purpose Short-stem hip arthroplasty (SHA) was designed to preserve bone stock and
provide an improved load transfer. To gain more evidence regarding the load transfer, this …

When performing cementless hip arthroplasty, it is critical to achieve firm primary mechanical
stability followed by biological fixation. In order to achieve this, it is essential to fully …

Background Due to its bone preserving philosophy, short-stem total hip arthroplasty (THA)
has primarily been recommended for young and active patients. However, there may be …

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgery has shown dramatic changes in terms of increased
number of procedures and of technical development in recent years. It has been described …
