| Popis: | Total hip arthroplasty is well established as a successful treatment for end stage arthritis, with a wide variety of components currently available. Using traditional stemmed implants in patients with a distorted proximal femur can be technically challenging with an increased risk of complications. We present seven patients with distorted proximal femoral anatomy or failed hip arthroplasty in whom a short, metaphyseal loading implant was utilised. At minimum two-year follow-up there have been no complications with all stems stable and well fixed radiologically. Average improvement in Oxford Hip Score is 32. We suggest that a short, metaphyseal loading prosthesis can be considered in cases where a conventional stemmed implant may not be suitable due to challenging proximal femoral anatomy. |
