Synopsis
60 patients scheduled for total hip arthroplasty were randomized to have the procedure completed using either a standard femoral stem or short femoral stem, 35mm shorter than a standard length stem. Patients were assessed over a 24-month follow-up period for periprosthetic bone mineral density on dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and implant stability on radiosterometric analysis. After 24 m...
