Comparison of Clinical Results of Two Cementless Femoral Stem
In the present study, two types of cementless femoral stem- UTS Stem and UTF-reduced Stem- were utilized in total hip arthroplasty. Due to the design for proximal femur fixation, both femoral stems could prevent stress shielding around the implant, further preventing osteolysis. The difference between both femoral stems is the length, in which UTS Stem is 20% shorter than UTF-reduced Stem. The clinical outcomes of both femoral stems will be compared. Both femoral stems are expected to have equally good radiologic outcome and clinical performance.
• Patients who receive total hip arthroplasty with either a UTS femoral stem or a UTF-reduced femoral stem after June, 2020
• Patients who have not received total hip arthroplasty in the past
