Background

Short bone-conserving femoral stem implants were developed to achieve more physiological, proximal bone loading than conventional femoral stems. Concerns have arisen, however, that improved loading may be offset by lower primary stability because of the reduced potential area for bony contact.

Aims

The aim of this study was to determine the primary stability of a novel short femoral stem compared with a conventional femoral stem following cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA), in a prospective, blinded, randomised, controlled trial using radiostereometric analysis.
