Femoral Neck Preservation and Diaphyseal Invasion Comparing a Calcar-Metaphyseal Short Stem with its Homonymous Standard Femoral Stem. A Radiographic Study
Abstract:Background. We aim to compare the preoperative planning radiographs of 50 patients in whom both a short stem and its homonymous standard version were programmed, focusing on the preservation of the neck and the invasion of the femoral shaft. The secondary objective was to evaluate the 50 preoperative radiographs with the 50 postoperative radiographs in which the short stem was implanted, measuring the real invasion of the diaphysis and the real preservation of the femoral neck.Material and methods. We measured… Show more
