A comparison of uncemented short versus standard stem length in total hip arthroplasty:results from the Dutch Arthroplasty Register

Background and purpose — We aimed to compare revision rates between uncemented short and standard stems in total hip arthroplasties (THAs) and the corresponding patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). Patients and methods — We included all short (C.F.P., Fitmore, GTS, Metha, Nanos, Optimys, Pulchra, and Taperloc Microplasty) and standard stems in uncemented THAs registered between 2009 and 2021 in the Dutch Arthroplasty Register. Kaplan–Meier survival and multivariable Cox regression analyses were performed with overall and femoral stem revision as endpoints. Results — Short stems were used... Mehr ...
