Core Tip
Core Tip: As the demand for an improved quality of life increases, so does the trend for total hip arthroplasty (THA). This, coupled with longer life expectancy, is expected to lead to more revision surgeries. One of the major issues with traditional femoral stems in THA is stress shielding, which makes revision surgeries particularly difficult in younger patients. Short metaphyseal femoral stems may address this issue, simplifying revision surgeries and improving patient outcomes. This study assessed the long-term results of short-stem THA.
