“…Several authors investigated the benefits and drawbacks of collared stems and found little or no differences, in either short- or long-term outcomes, when compared to collarless stems (Al-Najjim et al, 2016 ; Caglar et al, 2008 ; Ebramzadeh et al, 2004 ; Lenart et al, 2012 ; Weber et al, 2014 ). Conversely, a number of clinical studies supported the use of collars and argued that they could improve stem survival and facilitate revision THA (Flecher et al, 2012 ; Kale et al, 2000 ; Van Kleunen et al, 2006 ). Furthermore, good collar-calcar coverage could prevent stem subsidence and rotation, which may occur during the first weeks following uncemented THA (Campbell et al, 2011 ; Parvizi et al, 2004 ; Simpson et al, 2010 ; Strom et al, 2007 ; Weber et al, 2014 ).…”
