Perioperative Fracture Risk and Two-Year Survivorship of a Short Tapered Femoral Stem following Direct Anterior Approach Cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty with a Fracture Table
Abstract:The cementless, tapered wedge, short femoral stem implant is commonly used in direct anterior approach (DAA) total hip arthroplasty (THA). The lack of access and visualization, however, may increase the risk of perioperative fracture and early failure. Therefore, the current study examined perioperative complications and 2-year implant survivorship following DAA THA performed using a fracture table and short, tapered wedge femoral stem. A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients having undergone DAA TH… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
