Abstract:Background:
Osseointegration is essential for the long-term survival of cementless femoral stems and is dependent on periprosthetic bone quality and correct implantation technique. The aim of this study was to evaluate the 3-dimensional long-term fixation patterns of, and bone microarchitecture around, cementless hip stems.
Methods:
Four specimens with varying degrees of bone quality and fixation characteristics from body donors who had received Allocla… Show more
