Bone Mineral Changes Around Stemless and Stemmed Cementless Femoral Components

August 12, 2009 updated by: Ewha Womans University

Periprosthetic Bone Mineral Changes Around Stemless and Stemmed Cementless Femoral Components

The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference in stress shielding and bone resorption of the proximal femur in two anatomical stem total hip designs.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Stress shielding related bone resorption in the proximal femur after total hip arthroplasty continues to be a problem. The purpose of this prospective, randomized study was to evaluate which of the two anatomical stem designs achieved a more physiological load transfer by assessing bone mineral changes in the proximal femur after stem implantation.
