Bone loss seen in medium-term with both customized femoral and uncemented anatomical stem .
Periprosthetic bone loss after insertion of an uncemented, customized femoral stem and an uncemented anatomical stem
Acta Orthop. 2011 Aug;82(4):410-6. Epub 2011 Jun 1487 patients were randomized to undergo hip arthroplasty with an uncemented customized unique femoral stem or a uncemented ABG-I anatomical stem. The primary outcome examined was periprosthetic bone loss (change in bone mineral density), measured by Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) from baseline to the follow-up. The results indicated loss in bone mineral density for both customized femoral and uncemented anatomical stem at the 5-year (medium-term) follow-up.
