Migration analysis of a metaphyseal-anchored short femoral stem in cementless THA and factors affecting the stem subsidence

Migration analysis of a metaphyseal-anchored short femoral stem in cementless THA and factors affecting the stem subsidence

Abstract Background Early femoral stem subsidence following a cementless THA is correlated with aseptic loosening of the femoral component. The short femoral stems allow bone sparing and implantation through a minimally invasive approach; however, due to their metaphyseal anchoring, they might demon...
