Cemented short-stem total hip arthroplasty: Characteristics of line-to-line versus undersized cementing techniques using a validated CT-based finite element analysis KU Leuven Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Short stems are becoming increasingly popular in total hip arthroplasty as they preserve the bone stock and simplify the implantation process. Short stems are advised mainly for patients with good bone stock. The clinical use of short stems could be enlarged to patients with poor bone stock if a cemented alternative would be available. Therefore, this study aimed to quantify the mechanical performance of a cemented short stem and to compare the ...
