Hip osteoarthritis is the most common joint disorder, and is represented by a degenerative
process, resulting in pain and functional impairment. If conservative treatment for hip …

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 …

Introduction Short stem prostheses have been developed to preserve proximal femoral bone
stock. This prospective, randomized study compared periprosthetic bone remodelling …

A further increase in the number of total hip arthroplasty (THA) is predicted, in particular the
number of young THA patients has raised and with it their demands. There is no …

Background and purpose Short femoral stems have been introduced in total hip arthroplasty
in order to save proximal bone stock. We hypothesized that a short stem preserves …

Background and purpose—Total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients have reduced muscle
strength after rehabilitation. In a previous efficacy trial, 4 weeks' early supervised maximal …

Worldwide, millions of total hip and knee replacements are inserted every year and new
designs are introduced continuously, sometimes with catastrophic results. In 1995, Henrik …

Implant loosening is the most common indication for revision surgery after total hip
arthroplasty (THA). Although bone resorption around the implants plays a pivotal role in the …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to examine the concept of proximal load initiation of
a total short-stemmed hip arthroplasty (Metha® BBraun, Aesculap, Tuttlingen, Germany) on …

Introduction Undersizing of cementless hip stems is a risk factor for aseptic loosening and
early subsidence. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of undersized stems …
