Abstract
Background The neck-preserving cementless short stem represents a valid therapeutic option for total hip replacement in high-functional-demand patients, but few studies are available about the use of modularity in the last-generation short stem. The aim of the study was to evaluate the mid-term survival of a specific implant design that combines partial collum short hip stem with neck modularity; assessing the functional status was the second endpoint. Methods A retrospective single-center cohort study was conducted on 75 patients aged 35 to 80 years, with a minimum 6-year follow-up. Patients with neurological/rheumatic pathologies and previous hip surgeries were excluded. All the patients underwent total hip replacement with a short modular neck-preserving cementless hip stem. Clinical outcomes, complications, revisions, and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, Harris hip score, and Short Form 12-Item Health Survey (SF-12) questionnaires were evaluated. The results were compared with healthy population's data extracted from the literature, stratified by age. Results The Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed a 10-year implant survival rate of 96.7%, coupled with a revision rate of 1.3%. Results showed a Harris hip score and physical SF-12 significantly lower and a mental SF-12 higher when compared to healthy population. No statistically significant differences emerged when comparing groups based on neck modularity. Conclusions The short modular neck-preserving cementless hip stem emerged as a reasonable choice for patients with elevated functional demands, ensuring good clinical outcomes while preserving bone integrity. The use of a modular neck in short stems didn't show any mechanical problems in the mid-term.

Abstract
Background Biomechanical reconstruction of the hip significantly impacts the clinical outcome and implant survival. Our knowledge is limited of the ability of neck-stabilised prostheses to restore hip biomechanics. We hypothesised that hip biomechanics, specifically leg length and global offset (GO), may be restored to an acceptable range using the Primoris™ stem. Methods and material In this retrospective study, we analysed 152 patients who underwent total hip replacement (THA) using the short collum-fixated stem Primoris™.The primary outcomes were hip parameters measured by x-ray following THA using the Primoris™ stem. After surgery, the biomechanical parameters used were measured at the arthroplasty and the native contralateral side of the same x-ray. The X-rays were taken one year after the patient's surgery.1. GO.2. Leg length discrepancy (LLD).3. Neck shaft angle (NSA). Results We recorded an average GO of -3.4 mm (standard deviation (SD) 7.2) and an average LLD of +3.8 mm (SD 6.4). Furthermore, we registered an average 14-degree NSA increase (SD 7.4). Conclusion The Primoris™ neck-stabilised stem enabled hip anatomy restoration to a favourable range with respect to GO and LLD as the average difference fell within ±5 mm. However, the stem tended to be implanted in valgus.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Historically, total hip arthroplasty (THA) in very young patients has been associated with lower survivorship. However, the long-term outcomes of THA using short stems for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) in very young patients remain unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the long-term outcomes of the Mayo conservative hip system, a short metaphyseal stabilised stem, in patients with ONFH aged ≦30 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 104 joints in 76 patients with ONFH who underwent THA using the Mayo conservative hip system with a minimum follow-up of 8 years. The mean follow-up period was 12.5 (range, 8-19) years. Patients were categorised into two age groups (≦30 years, n = 21 and > 30 years, n = 83). Radiographic evaluation was used to assess stem sinking, stress shielding, and spot welds. The clinical evaluations were performed using the Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) hip score. Postoperative major complication and revision surgery rates were also assessed. RESULTS The patient characteristics were similar between the two groups, except for the age. Revision surgeries were performed in five cases, with similar implant survival rates between the groups. Dislocations occurred in the older age group alone (four joints). One case of intra-operative periprosthetic femoral fracture was found in the younger age group. Stem sinking of > 3 mm occurred in one and seven joints in the younger and older age groups, respectively. Spot welds were observed in most joints (93.2%) in modified Gruen zones 2 and 6 without significant differences between the groups. Stress shielding showed no significant differences in the frequency of occurrence or location between the two groups. Furthermore,the JOA score showed no significant difference between the two groups. CONCLUSION The use of short stems in patients aged ≤ 30 years with ONFH showed favourable long-term outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Routine total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a short cemented stem as compared with a standard length cemented stem may have benefits in terms of stress distribution, bone preservation, stem subsidence and ease of revision surgery. Two senior arthroplasty surgeons transitioned their routine femoral implant from a standard 150 mm Exeter V40 cemented stem to a short 125 mm Exeter V40 cemented stem for all patients over the course of several years. We analysed revision rates, adjusted survival, and PROMS scores for patients who received a standard stem and a short stem in routine THA. METHODS All THAs performed by the two surgeons between January 2011 and December 2021 were included. All procedures were performed using either a 150 mm or 125 mm Exeter V40 stem. Demographic data, acetabular implant type, and outcome data including implant survival, reason for revision, and post-operative Oxford Hip Scores were obtained from the New Zealand Joint Registry (NZJR), and detailed survival analyses were performed. Primary outcome was revision for any reason. Reason for revision, including femoral or acetabular failure, and time to revision were also recorded. RESULTS 1335 THAs were included. 516 using the 150 mm stem and 819 using the 125 mm stem. There were 4055.5 and 3227.8 component years analysed in the standard stem and short stem groups respectively due to a longer mean follow up in the 150 mm group. Patient reported outcomes were comparable across all groups. Revision rates were comparable between the standard 150 mm stem (0.44 revisions/100 component years) and the short 125 mm stem (0.56 revisions/100 component years) with no statistically significant difference found (p = 0.240). CONCLUSION Routine use of a short 125 mm stem had no statistically significant impact on revision rate or PROMS scores when compared to a standard 150 mm stem. There may be benefits to routine use of a short cemented femoral implant.

Abstract
PURPOSE There is no consensus on ideal short femoral stem design. A classification system proposed by Feyen and Shimmin divides short stems in two types according to femoral neck osteotomy levels: subcapital (IIIA) and standard (IIIB). The study aims to determine which design type is more successful in restoring native biomechanical parameters and whether stem type has an impact on clinical results. METHODS In this retrospective comparative study, patients that have undergone short stem hip arthroplasty were evaluated according to stem types: type IIIA (n = 52, 66.7%) (Mathys Optimys) and IIIB (n = 26, 33.3%) (Implantcast Aida and Smith & Nephew SMF). Pelvis X-rays were assessed in terms of femoral neck length, horizontal and vertical hip centres of rotation, horizontal and vertical femoral offsets, abductor lever arm lengths, leg lengths, and stem-shaft angles. Improvement in Harris hip scores, differences between post-operative and pre-operative measurements, and stem-shaft angles were evaluated and compared between two groups. RESULTS Mean femoral neck resection (8.27 ± 6.68 mm in IIIA and 15 ± 6.33 mm in IIIB) was significantly different between both groups (p < 0.001). Harris hip scores were increased at post-operative six months in both groups with no difference (84.4 ± 6.4 and 84.6 ± 5.5, p = 0.4). The absolute values of differences between pre-operative and post-operative horizontal centres of rotation (p = 0.63), vertical centers of rotation (p = 0.75), horizontal femoral offsets (p = 0.78), vertical femoral offsets (p = 0.83), abductor lever arm distances (p = 0.63), and leg length (p = 0.21) measurements were not different between both groups. Stem positions were both varus with no statistically significant difference between groups (p = 0.14). CONCLUSION We found no difference regarding restoration of biomechanical parameters between short stem designs with different levels of neck osteotomy. Additionally, short stem can mostly result in varus component positioning regardless of the level of neck osteotomy.

Abstract
Background Proximal-distal mismatch has emerged as a prominent concern in Dorr type A femoral morphology, prompting the exploration of short stems as promising alternatives to conventional stems. This study aimed to evaluate clinical and radiographic outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) using short femoral stems in Dorr type A proximal femoral morphology with a minimum follow-up of 5 years. Methods Patients with short femoral stems in Dorr type A between 2011 and 2017 were included. Patients with the Short Modular Femoral (SMF) stem and Metha stem were recruited and patients with a shortened tapered stem (Tri-Lock BPS) were matched by propensity score matching based on age, sex, body mass index, calcar to canal ratio, and diagnosis. Patient-reported outcomes and the presence of thigh pain were assessed at 5 years postoperatively. Revision rate, complication rate, and radiographic outcomes were also assessed and compared. Results Twenty-two cases (81%) in the SMF stem and 43 cases (65%) in the Metha stem had more than 5 years of follow-up data available. The SMF stem showed a higher failure rate than the other 2 groups, with 18% requiring revision surgery in the SMF stem compared to 4.6% in the Metha stem, and 2.3% in the Tri-Lock BPS. The SMF stem showed considerable complications such as stem position change and lateral cortical hypertrophy with inferior clinical outcomes than the other 2 stem groups. When the Metha stem and the Tri-Lock BPS groups were compared, more intraoperative fractures were observed in the Metha stem, whereas stress shielding and anterior thigh pain were significantly more prevalent in the Tri-Lock BPS. Conclusions The SMF stem might be less reliable than previously reported, showing a high failure rate and increased radiologic complications. Thus, its use for THA in Dorr Type A femurs needs caution. On the other hand, the Metha stem showed comparable outcomes to the shortened tapered Tri-Lock BPS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The indications for cementless short-stem total hip arthroplasty (THA) have been expanded due to encouraging results. However, no evidence in cases of femoral neck fractures (FNFs) is available. We aimed to prospectively obtain data on the safety and the clinical outcomes of a cementless calcar-guided short stem in patients with FNFs. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a prospective observational study of 68 patients diagnosed with FNFs who underwent short-stem THA between 2016 and 2019 with a calcar-guided stem. Complications during follow-up leading to revision were documented, and patient reported outcome measurements recorded. Stem migration was analyzed using the Einzel-Bild-Röntgen-Analysis Femoral Component Analysis software. RESULTS The mean follow-up was 33.8 ± 14.8 months. The patient mortality at last follow-up was 10.6%. Two patients required stem revision, due to periprosthetic fracture and late aseptic loosening, respectively, corresponding to 96.2% stem survival. Survivorship for the endpoint of revision for any reason was 91.1% at 6 years. All revisions occurred in females. The mean Harris Hip Score at the last follow-up was 93.0 ± 8.9. The mean axial migration at last follow-up was 1.90 ± 1.81 mm. No significant influence on migration was found regarding gender, age, weight, and body mass index. CONCLUSIONS The clinical and radiological findings were satisfying and most patients benefited from the minimally invasive procedure. However, as for conventional THA as well, implant survivorship and mortality were markedly worse compared to results regarding osteoarthritis. Especially in elderly female patients with FNF, cementless short-stem THA is a concern and a cemented THA should be the first choice.

Abstract
PURPOSE Limitations of standard-length femoral stems persist, including proximal-distal mismatch, non-ideal load transfer, loss of bone tissue, and perioperative fracture. Symbol® (Dedienne Santé, France) is a metaphyseal-engaging short-stem implant designed to address these issues in total hip arthroplasty (THA). While short stems have been well studied in selected and younger patients, it is unclear whether they offer advantages in an unselected population. We hypothesized that short femoral stems offer similar mid-term survivorship at five year minimum follow-up and function score to standard-length femoral stems, in an unselected patient population. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed a continuous unselected cohort of patients who undergone THA by one surgeon with a standard-length stem between November 2013 and October 2015, and a short stem between November 2015 and March 2017. We compared modified Harris Hip Score and Oxford Scores with a minimum follow-up of five years and procedural factors that could be associated with worse results with a short stem design. RESULTS There was no difference in survival rate between the two groups. Average Harris Hip Score and Oxford Scores at the last follow-up were comparable. A multivariate linear regression was performed to assess the relationship between modified Harrys Hip Score at five years post-operatively and the explanatory variables: age, body mass index, physical status score ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists), and HHS pre-op. None was associated with the standard-length stem but for the short stem. CONCLUSION Short-stem implants provide good survival rate at mid-term; nevertheless, a steep learning curve is necessary to optimize the metaphyseal filling of the implant, especially for osteoporotic bone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of total hip arthroplasty procedures in the younger patient population. This active group has higher expectations of their prosthesis in comparison to the older population, and there is a greater physical demand for the prosthesis. Short femoral stems were introduced to retain proximal bone stock and joint biomechanics and became more common to implant in this specific population. Currently, the long-term survival and functional outcomes of various short stems are still being investigated in different clinics. AIM To determine the 5-year survival of the Optimys hip stem. METHODS This was a prospective multicenter cohort study of 500 patients conducted in two hospitals in the Netherlands. All patients received the Optimys short stem (Mathys Ltd, Bettlach, Switzerland). The primary outcome measure was survival of the hip stem, with revision as the endpoint. The secondary outcome measurements included patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to calculate the 5-year survival rate. Log-minus-log transformation was performed to calculate the 95% confidence interval (95%CI). Mixed model analyses were performed to assess the course of the PROMs during the 1st 2 years after surgery. Analyses were modeled separately for the 1st and 2nd years to calculate the yearly change in PROMs during both follow-up periods with accompanying 95%CIs. RESULTS The mean age of the total 500 patients was 62.3 years (standard deviation: 10.6) and 202 were male (40%). At a median follow-up of 5.5 years (interquartile range: 4.5-6.7), 7 patients were deceased and 6 revisions were registered, for infection (n = 3), subsidence (n = 2) and malposition (n = 1). This resulted in an overall 5-year survival of 98.8% (95%CI: 97.3-99.5). If infection was left out as reason for revision, a stem survival of 99.4% (95%CI: 98.1-99.8) was seen. Baseline questionnaires were completed by 471 patients (94%), 317 patients (63%) completed the 1-year follow-up questionnaires and 233 patients (47%) completed the 2-year follow-up. Both outcome measures significantly improved across all domains in the 1st year after the operation (P < 0.03 for all domains). In the 2nd year after surgery, no significant changes were observed in any domain in comparison to the 1-year follow-up. CONCLUSION The Optimys stem has a 5-year survival of 98.8%. Patient-reported outcome measures increased significantly in the 1st postoperative year with stabilization at the 2-year follow-up.

Abstract
PURPOSE Short stems for total hip arthroplasty are an alternative to traditional conventional long stems. Short stems are designed to facilitate minimal-invasive surgery, improve bone-stock preservation, and mimic a physiological load distribution. However, there is little evidence of the long-term outcome of short stems. This study aims to analyze the ten year survival rates and clinical outcome of one specific metaphyseal short hip stem implant. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the patient records of the patients who underwent a total hip arthroplasty with a monoblock partial collum sparing metaphyseal short hip stem prosthesis in 2008 and 2009 in our clinic. Patients were contacted, and clinical follow-up was recorded using the German version of the modified Harris Hip Score. Furthermore, complications, revision surgery, and post-operative radiographs were analyzed. RESULTS Data from 339 primary implantations in 322 patients were retrieved. The mean follow-up was 10.6 years. Seven patients underwent a revision. The ten year survival rate with any revision surgery as the endpoint was 97.5%. The mean modified Harris Hip Score was 86 points (range 30 to 91 points). Five patients had an intraoperative fracture of the femur (1.6%). Two patients (0.6%) had a dislocation of the hip. The stem tip-to-cortex distance, measured in the anterior posterior view, was 2.6 mm (range 0 to 8.3 mm). CONCLUSION The ten year survival rate of our used monoblock partial collum sparing metaphyseal short hip stem implant is comparable to traditional stems for total hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
Current trends in total hip replacement aim at soft tissue and bone stock conservation. At the same time, mean patient age has been decreasing from decade to decade, raising the issue of iterative revision. Short stems seek to resolve the problem on the femoral side. Hopefully, revision of a short stem will be easier and bone stock depletion will be less than with a standard stem. Short stems also seem to have other advantages: automatically personalized biomechanical reconstruction, easier minimally invasive strategies, very low rate of hip pain, more harmonious distribution of bone stress, etc. Despite these advantages, however, use of short stems since their introduction in the late 1980s has varied from country to country, and is not widespread in France. The present study addressed several questions concerning these implants. Firstly, what is a "short" stem? Then, what are the indications and contraindications? Shortened standard stems do not come under the concept of short stem and will not be dealt with here. Furthermore, the learning curve and specificities of short stems need to be acquired. Implantation technique differs greatly from standard stems, and short stem implantation requires particular rigor. Results also need to be assessed, and especially the rate of complications as compared to standard stems. And lastly, it needs to be determined whether the advantages are real or only theoretical: this will determine their usefulness and role in the armamentarium, in which short stems are a new paradigm. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Expert opinion.

Abstract
Background Newer generation humeral stem designs in total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) are trending towards shorter lengths and uncemented fixation. The goal of this study is to report a 2-yr minimum clinical and radiographic outcomes of an uncemented short-stem press-fit humeral stem in anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (ATSA) and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA). Methods A retrospective multicenter database review was performed of all patients who received an uncemented short-length press-fit humeral stem (Equinoxe Preserve humeral stem, Exactech, Inc., Gainesville, FL, USA) in ATSA and RTSA with a minimum two-year follow-up. The primary outcome was the prevalence of humeral stems at risk of radiographic loosening. Secondary outcomes included evaluation of functional outcome scores and prevalence of revision TSA for humeral stem loosening. Two blinded observers performed radiographic analyses, which included humeral stem alignment, canal filling ratio, radiolucent lines, stress shielding (calcar and greater tuberosity), and changes in component position (subsidence and stem shift). At risk stems were defined by the presence of one or more of the following: humeral stem with shifting or subsidence, scalloping of the humeral cortex, or radiolucent lines measuring 2 mm or greater in 3 or more zones. Results 287 patients (97 ATSA and 190 RTSA) were included in this study. The mean follow-up was 35.9 (±6.1) months. There were significant improvements for all functional outcome scores (P < .05), range of motion (P < .05), and visual analogue pain scale pain (P < .05). The prevalence of humeral stem at risk of radiographic loosening was 1% in the ATSA group (1/97) and 18.4% in the RTSA group (35/190). Calcar resorption was seen in 34% of ATSA and 19% of RTSA, with severe resorption in 12.4% of ATSA and only 3.2% of RTSA. Greater tuberosity resorption was present in 3.1% of ATSA and 7.9% of RTSA. The mean canal filling ratio was 50.2% (standard deviation 11.2%). Using logistic regression, a significant positive correlation between canal filling ratio and stress shielding (P < .01) was seen for both calcar and tuberosity stress shielding. The revision surgery rate was 0% in ATSA compared to 1.6% in RTSA. Conclusion This retrospective study demonstrates a low revision rate and low prevalence of humeral stems at risk of radiographic loosening at two years with a press-fit short-stem humeral design in ATSA. Physiologic subsidence of humeral stems can account for higher prevalence of humeral stems at radiographic risk of loosening in RTSA compared to ATSA.

Abstract
PURPOSE There is growing interest around short stems as they provide a less invasive approach for total hip arthroplasty preserving bone stock for a possible revision surgery if required. The main purpose of this work was to assess the long-term performance of an uncemented metaphyseal short stem in terms of survival rate and in addition its clinical and radiological outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS From January to December 2010, we prospectively enrolled all consecutive patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty with an uncemented metaphyseal short stem in our institution with a minimum follow-up of 10 years. The radiographic features investigated were the varus-valgus stem orientation, areas of osteolysis and radiolucencies, stress shielding, and heterotopic calcifications. The clinical outcomes were measured using the HHS. RESULTS A total of 163 patients (172 hips) were finally included and the measured survival rate at 10 years was 99.6%. The average HHS increased from 55.0 preoperatively to 97.8 at the last follow-up (p < 0.0001). Among them, 137 patients (164 hips) were also available for radiographic assessment. Mild varus malalignment was observed in 40% of cases and remained stable in the serial X-rays and was not associated with step loosening. Mild stress shielding was observed around 13 stems (9%) and moderate only around 3 implants. CONCLUSION In conclusion, the uncemented metaphyseal short stems showed excellent survival and clinical results at 10 years and at a radiographical level very low stress shielding was observed; moreover, besides the high frequency of varus alignment the implanted stems was not associated with revision surgery or with worse clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Short stems were introduced into total hip arthroplasty (THA) to preserve bone stock, to transmit more load to the proximal femur, and to enable minimal invasive approaches. This study is the first long-term study (with a follow-up of 10 years) of the survival as well as the clinical and radiographic outcomes of the Fitmore hip stem, a short curved uncemented stem. METHODS In total, 123 Fitmore hip stems were prospectively evaluated. At the final 10-year follow-up, 80 Fitmore stems (78 patients: 30 female, 48 male) were eligible for evaluation. Clinical parameters were thigh pain, EQ-5D, Harris Hip Score (HHS) and Oxford Hip Score. Radiographic parameters were cortical hypertrophy (CH), bone condensation, cortical thinning, radiolucency, reactive lines, calcar rounding, calcar resorption, subsidence and varus/valgus position. RESULTS After 10 years, there was a survival rate of 99% (1 revision because of aseptic stem loosening). HHS had improved from 59 to 94 and Oxford Hip Score from 22 to 43. CH rate after 1 year was 69% and after 10 years 74%. In the first year, radiolucency was found in 58% and in 17.5% after 10 years. Subsidence after 1 year was 1.6 ± 1.6 mm and 5.0 ± 3.1 mm after 10 years. CONCLUSIONS The Fitmore hip stem showed a survival rate of 99% as well as good clinical and radiographic outcomes in the long-term follow-up of 10 years.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Self-monitoring is crucial to work progressively with a high-quality standard. A retrospective analysis is a valuable tool for studying the postoperative outcome of a prosthesis and for evaluating the learning process for the surgeon. MATERIALS AND METHODS The learning process of one surgeon was analysed in 133 cases of hip arthroplasty. These were divided into seven groups representing the surgical years 2008-2014. Over the course of 3 postoperative years, a total of 655 radiographs were analysed at regarding three radiological quality parameters (centrum-collum-diaphyseal angle (CCD angle), intramedullary fit&fill ratio (FFR), and migration) and ancillary outcome parameters (Harris Hip Score (HHS), blood loss, operating time, and complications). This period was divided into five times: 1st-day post-op, 6 M, 12 M, 24 M, and 36 M. Bivariate Spearman's correlation analysis and pairwise comparisons were performed. RESULTS The total collective achieved a proximal FFR of over 0.8. The distal prosthesis tip migrated and was located on the lateral cortex within the first months. The CCD angle initially showed a variation with a subsequent constant course. The HHS showed a significant increase (p < 0.001) to over 90 points postoperatively. Over time, the operating time and blood loss decreased. Intraoperative complications existed only at the beginning of the learning phase. A learning curve effect can be determined for almost all parameters by comparing the subject groups. CONCLUSIONS Operative expertise was shown to gain through a learning curve, whereby postoperative results corresponded to the system philosophy of the short hip stem prosthesis. The distal FFR and the distal lateral distance could represent the principle of the prosthesis, which overall could be an interesting approach for verification of a new parameter.

Abstract
Background Shoulder arthroplasty humeral stem design has evolved to include various shapes, coatings, lengths, sizes, and fixation methods. While necessary to accommodate patient anatomy characteristics, this creates a surgical paradox of choice. The relationship between the surgeon's selection of short-stem implant size and construct stiffness, resistance to subsidence and micromotion has not been assessed. Methods Eight paired cadaveric humeri were reconstructed with surgeon-selected (SS) and 2-mm diametrically larger (SS+2) short-stemmed press-fit implants. Each reconstruction was subjected to 2000 cycles of 90° forward flexion loading, and stem subsidence and micromotion were measured using optical tracking. Compressive stiffness of the stem-bone reconstruction was then assessed by applying a load in-line with the stem axis that resulted in 5 mm of stem subsidence. Results Increasing stem size by 2 mm resulted in the construct stiffness more than doubling compared to SS stems (-741 ± 243 N/mm vs. -334 ± 120 N/mm; P = .003; power = 0.971). These larger stems also subsided significantly less than their SS counterparts (SS: 1.2 ± 0.6 mm; SS+2: 0.5 ± 0.5 mm; P = .029; power = 0.66), though there were no significant changes in micromotion (SS: 169 ± 59 μm; SS+2: 187 ± 52 μm; P = .506; power = 0.094). Conclusions The results of this study highlight the importance of proper short-stem sizing, as a relatively small 2 mm increase in diametral size was observed to significantly impact construct stiffness, which could increase the risk of stress shielding and implant loosening. Future work should focus on developing tools that objectively quantify bone quality and aid surgeons in selecting the appropriate size short-stem humeral implants for a particular patient.

Abstract
Background Metaphyseal fixation of short stem THA allows for minimally invasive surgery, less bone removal, improved bone load transfer and reduced stress shielding. Short stems facilitate the anatomic restoration i.a. of leg length, femoroacetabular offset, and center of rotation. However, metaphyseal fixation might cause impaired primary and/or secondary stability resulting in an inherent tendency for early axial migration and aseptic loosening eventually. The objective of this study was to investigate the long-term outcome and migration pattern of a calcar-guided short stem. Methods In a prospective multicenter study, 213 patients (224 THAs) were enrolled. Patients were followed for up to 84 months postoperatively. Clinical outcome was assessed using the Harris Hip Score and the VAS for pain and satisfaction. Standardized and calibrated radiographs were screened i.a. for stress shielding and loosening. Einzel-Bild-Roentgen-Analyse - femoral component analysis (EBRA-FCA) was used to detect longitudinal subsidence. Results At 7 year follow-up, n = 139/224 cases were available for analysis. All clinical parameters improved significantly (p < 0.001) and improvement persisted. There were no radiographic changes indicating stress shielding. EBRA-FCA revealed a mean subsidence of -1.44 mm followed by a stabilization. Weight >80 kg (p = 0.115), BMI <30 kg/m2 (p = 0.282), male gender (p = 0.246), and age <65 years (p = 0.304) seemed to be associated with a higher risk for migration. The cumulative revision rate was 2.23%. Revisions due to stem migration (0.89%) occurred early (mean time between index surgery and revision: 3.3 months). Conclusions If at all, there appears to be a pronounced initial subsidence, which stabilizes thereafter. Stem migration was rarely a compelling reason for failure or revision. Demographics do not seem to have a significant effect on migration pattern. The absence of radioluce lines, resorption or hypertrophy of the proximal femora support the hypothesis of a reduced stress shielding for metaphyseal anchoring short stems.

Abstract
PURPOSE Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has become a highly frequent orthopaedic procedure. Multiple approaches have been made to design the femoral component for THA with a mechanical behaviour as close as possible to a natural femur. The aim of this study was to compare different combinations of design and biomechanical properties of THA prostheses and their impact on stress shielding of the periprosthetic bone. METHODS Virtual implantation of different stem designs (straight standard stem, straight short stem, anatomical short stem) by finite element analysis based on in vivo data from computer tomography was performed. For each stem, three grades of stiffness were generated, followed by a strain analysis. RESULTS Reduction of stem stiffness led to less stress shielding. Implantation of an anatomical short-stem prosthesis with low stiffness provided the most physiological strain-loading effect (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION A combination of a short and an anatomically designed stem with a low stiffness might provide a more physiological strain transfer during THA. Biomechanical properties of the femoral component for THA should be considered as a multifactorial function of dimensions, design, and stiffness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Short cementless stems in total hip arthroplasty have gained increasing popularity, yet on-going studies of many of these implants are lacking. The aim of this study was to evaluate the minimum 5 year clinical and radiological results of a short, highly porous single tapered-wedge cementless femoral implant. METHODS A retrospective study of 281 hips in 256 patients who had a minimum 5-year follow-up and underwent primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) between 2010 and 2016 were evaluated. Clinical and radiological results, complications, and the presence of postoperative thigh pain were evaluated. RESULTS The mean follow-up was 8 years (range, 5 to 12 years). Clinically, patients had significant improvement in the average patient related outcome scores (PROMS) postoperatively (Harris Hip Score: pre 47 vs post 95, University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) activity scale: pre 4 vs post 6, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC): pre 51 vs post 3, SF-12 Physical Component Summary (PCS): pre 32 vs post 52, SF-12 Mental Component Summary (MCS): pre 49 vs post 55 (P<0.001)). Radiographic signs of ingrowth were present in all hips. There were three patients (1.1%) who developed transient thigh pain postoperatively, all of which resolved with non-operative management. CONCLUSION This study provides the longest follow-up of this short, highly porous single tapered-wedge cementless femoral stem in the literature. This short single wedge stem with its highly porous coating demonstrated reproducible bone ingrowth in all patients, and significant functional improvement with a very low rate of transient thigh pain.

Abstract
PURPOSE Minimally invasive approaches (MIS) in total hip arthroplasty (THA) show inconsistent findings regarding planning adherence in digital templating. The purpose of this study is to evaluate any difference in planning adherence between the direct anterior approach (DAA) and an anterolateral MIS approach (AL MIS) in cementless short stem THA. METHODS A single surgeon series of 222 THAs in 208 patients with an uncemented short curved stem and a bi-hemispherical acetabular cup were screened for inclusion. A total of 118 THAs were implanted via the DAA and 72 THAs via the AL MIS were included. The planning adherence for the offset option, stem size and the acetabular cup were retrospectively evaluated. RESULTS Planning adherence for cup size (perfect match: p = 0.763; ± 1 size: p = 0.124), offset option (0.125) and stem size (perfect match: p = 0.275; ± 1 size: p = 0.552) did not show any statistical significance. Preoperative diagnosis of avascular necrosis of the femoral head in AL MIS approach (OR 6.045; CI 1.153-31.696) or mild hip dysplasia in the general cohort poses (OR 11.789; CI 1.386-100.293) a significant risk for inadequate prediction of the offset option. CONCLUSION digital templating for THA with an uncemented short curved stem and a bi-hemispherical acetabular cup show comparable results between a direct anterior approach and a minimally invasive anterolateral approach in supine position. Surgeons should be aware of a low planning adherence for this type of short stem in minimally invasive approaches. CONCLUSION Digital templating for THA with an uncemented short curved stem and a bi-hemispherical acetabular cup show comparable results between a direct anterior approach and a minimally invasive anterolateral approach in supine position. Surgeons should be aware of a low planning adherence for this type of short stem in minimally invasive approaches.

Abstract
Aseptic loosening due to the progressive periprosthetic bone resorption following total hip replacement is a crucial concern, that causes complications and failure of the arthroplasty surgery. The mismatch in stiffness between the hip implant and the surrounding femoral bone is one of the key factors leading to bone density resorption. This paper aimed to investigate the long-term response of the femoral bone after THR using the Silent Hip stem. For this purpose, a validated thermodynamic-based computational model was used to compute the change in bone density before and after THR. This model incorporated essential factors involved in bone remodeling process, such as mechanical loading, and biochemical affinities. The results of the numerical simulations using 3D finite element analysis were analyzed in five zones of interest qualitatively and quantitatively. Bone density predictions showed notable bone resorption in cervical areas, specifically in zone 1 and zone 5 of -18.7% and -14%, respectively. Conversely, bone formation was observed in the greater trochanter area (zone 2) of +25%. Stress shielding seemed to occur at cervical area due to the reduction in the mechanical loading in this region. Based on the quantitative analysis of the bone density distribution throughout the femoral bone, it appears that the Silent Hip stem achieved less bone resorption compared to conventional hip stem designs reported in the literature, which could be used for active patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION One current trend in the field of shoulder arthroplasty is a design shift to shorter and metaphyseal fixed humeral stem components. The aim of this investigation is to analyze complications resulting in revision surgery after anatomic (ASA) and reverse (RSA) short stem arthroplasty. We hypothesize that complications are influenced by the type of prosthesis and indication for arthroplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 279 short stem shoulder prostheses were implanted by the same surgeon (162 ASA; 117 RSA), and 223 of these prostheses were implanted as primary procedures; in 54 cases, arthroplasty was performed secondary to prior open surgery. Main indications were osteoarthritis (OA) (n = 134), cuff tear arthropathy (CTA) (n = 74) and posttraumatic deformities (PTr) (n = 59). Patients were evaluated at 6 weeks (follow-up 1; FU1), 2 years (FU2) and the time span of the last follow-up defined as FU3 with a minimum FU of 2 years. Complications were categorized into early complications (within FU1), intermediate complications (within FU2) and late complications (> 2 years; FU3). RESULTS In total, 268 prostheses (96.1%) were available for FU1; 267 prostheses (95.7%) were available for FU2 and 218 prostheses (77.8%) were available for FU3. The average time for FU3 was 53.0 months (range 24-95). A complication leading to revision occurred in 21 prostheses (7.8%), 6 (3.7%) in the ASA group and 15 (12.7%) in the RSA group (p < 0.005). The most frequent cause for revision was infection (n = 9; 42.9%). After primary implantation, 3 complications (2.2%) occurred in the ASA and 10 complications (11.0%) in the RSA group (p < 0.005). The complication rate was 2.2% in patients with OA, 13.5% in CTA and 11.9% in PTr. CONCLUSIONS Primary reverse shoulder arthroplasty had a significantly higher rate of complications and revisions than primary and secondary anatomic shoulder arthroplasty, respectively. Therefore, indications for reverse shoulder arthroplasty should be critically questioned in each individual case.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The short stems developed in recent years offer an interesting alternative to standard long stems. The Optimys™ short stem has been widely studied, but not according to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) criteria. We therefore conducted a retrospective study of Optimys™ at a minimum 5years' follow-up, to assess: (1) survival on NICE criteria, (2) complications, (3) functional results, and (4) subsidence, restoration of offset and bone remodeling. HYPOTHESIS Optimys™ shows survival comparable to that of other non-cemented standard and short stems, with a<0.5% per year revision rate or<2.5% at 5years on NICE criteria. MATERIAL AND METHODS A single-center retrospective study included 108 Optimys™ stems at a mean 76.5months' follow-up (range: 60-112months). Clinical [Harris, Oxford-12 and forgotten hip (French version: SHO-12) scores] and radiologic data were collected pre- and postoperatively. Analysis focused on implant survival, complications, functional results and radiological results (restoration of offset, bone remodeling, subsidence and osseointegration) and risk factors for stem migration. RESULTS At a mean 76.5months' follow-up (range: 60-112months), Optimys™ survival was 97.7% (95% CI: 0.945-1). Oxford and Harris scores improved significantly: respectively, 16.1 vs. 44.7 [Δ=28.598; 95% CI: 27.410-29.785 (p<0.001)] and 45.3 vs. 95 [Δ=49.662; 95% CI: 47.442-51.882 (p<0.001)]. Mean forgotten hip score (SHO-12) at last follow-up was 82.7±19.6 (range: 35.4-100.0). There was 1 case of aseptic revision at 11months for femoral osseointegration defect. Mean subsidence was 1.64mm (range: 0-20.63mm); no predisposing factors could be identified. Femoral offset increased by a mean 2.41±4.53mm (range: -10.10 to 14.70mm). CONCLUSION The present study reports good survival for the Optimys™ stem, which meets NICE criteria. Radiologic and clinical results were encouraging, with a low rate of subsidence, comparable to other series, but with increased femoral offset. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV; retrospective cohort study.

Abstract
PURPOSE Short stems are increasingly used in total hip arthroplasty (THA) because of advantages in bone and soft tissue preservation and reconstruction of hip geometry. Digital templating is essential in determining the correct offset option and stem size in THA. However, the preoperative template sizes might be intraoperatively overruled. PATIENTS AND METHODS We evaluated the effect of intraoperative overruling of the preoperatively templated offset option of a short curved stem on hip offset, leg length, implant positioning, and femoral canal fill index. The overruling was performed in case of intraoperative instability, telescoping, or both. A series of 1052 consecutive THAs with a cementless short curved stem and press-fit cup was retrospectively screened. One hundred patients with unilateral THA and a contralateral native and morphologically healthy hip as a reference met the inclusion criteria. Measurements were carried out on preoperative and 3 months anterior-posterior postoperative radiographs. Patients were divided according to the overruling by offset option or stem size. RESULTS Hip offset was increased in all groups, but only with significant increase if an offset option + 1 was used intraoperatively (p = 0.025). LLD was restored without significance in all groups (p = 0.323; p = 0.157). CONCLUSION Intraoperative overruling of the preoperative digital template in cementless short stem total hip arthroplasty results in an increase of hip offset compared to a contralateral healthy hip. However, the increase is marginal and clearly under 5 mm compared to the contralateral healthy hip.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Short stems are a bone and soft-tissue preserving alternative to conventional stems. The aim of this multicenter study is to present the mid-term outcomes of a calcar-guided short stem. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a prospective case series of the first 879 total hip arthroplasties performed on 782 patients across 5 centers using identical calcar-guided short stems. In a mid-term follow-up (6 years), rates and reasons for complications and revisions were documented. The Harris Hip Score (HHS) was obtained; patients reported pain and satisfaction using a visual analog scale. RESULTS A total of 43 patients died in the study cohort for non-related reasons; 26 patients (3.0%) required at least 1 revision after the index procedure. The survival rate for endpoint stem revision at mid-term was 98.4%. The main reasons for stem revision were aseptic loosening and early periprosthetic fractures. Sex had no influence on stem survival. Older patients or those with a high body mass index showed increased risk for stem revision during follow-up. Dorr type A morphology revealed a significantly lower risk of stem revision than Dorr type B or C (p = 0.0465). The HHS, satisfaction, and load pain at mid-term were 96.5 (SD 8.0), 9.7 (SD 0.9), and 0.5 (SD 1.9), respectively. CONCLUSIONS This short stem produced highly satisfactory outcomes at mid-term, with 98.4% implant survival for any cause of stem revision and low complication rates. Long-term results are required to further evaluate these promising mid-term results.

Abstract
PURPOSE Varus positioning of the femoral stem can affect the hip offset (HO). The critical trochanter angle (CTA) was introduced in 2019 as a novel geometric angle, to predict varus stem alignment in cementless straight stem THA. The aim of this study was to evaluate the applicability of the CTA as a predictor for stem alignment in THA with a cementless neck resecting short stem. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this retrospective study, 106 patients (index surgery 2014-2019) with unilateral THA and a morphologically healthy contralateral hip as a reference (Kellgren-Lawrence ≤ 1) were included. A cementless short stem with meta-diaphyseal fixation and press-fit cup was implanted in all cases. Stem alignment, CCD angle, CTA and offset reconstruction were measured on preoperative and 3 months postoperative AP radiographs of the pelvis. RESULTS Preoperative lower CTA and lower CCD angle were positively correlated (r = 0.472; p < 0.001). Higher varus stem alignment is correlated with lower CTA (r = - 0.384; p < 0.001) and lower CCD angle (r = - 0.474; p < 0.001). A CTA of 23.1° or lower showed a sensitivity of 59.1% and a specificity of 87.1% (AUC: 0.733) and a CCD angle of 132.75° or lower a sensitivity of 68.2% and a specificity of 80.6% (AUC: 0.77) for a varus stem alignment > 3°. CONCLUSION The CTA is also applicable in cementless THA with a neck resecting short stem to evaluate risk of intraoperative varus stem positioning. The CCD angle shows higher sensitivity with marginally lower specificity. Therefore, the CTA is not superior in predicting varus stem alignment in short-stem THA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Periprosthetic femoral fractures are an increasingly common post-operative complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA). Though varus malalignment is known to increase fracture risk in standard-length femoral stems, varus malalignment is not as well studied in short stems. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine if varus malalignment contributes to early periprosthetic fracture risk in a cementless taper-wedged, short femoral stem. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective review included 366 consecutive patients (441 THAs) having undergone THA via anterior approach by a single surgeon between July 2014 and December 2016. All patients received the same short, cementless femoral stem. Femoral component angle was measured on 6-week post-THA weight-bearing radiographs, with malalignment defined as a femoral component angle exceeding 0° ± 3°. Periprosthetic femoral fracture and aseptic loosening occurring within 2 years post-THA were recorded. RESULTS The final data analysis included 426 hips with a mean follow-up time of 32.9 ± 10.2 months. Varus and neutral alignment occurred in 84 (19.6%) and 342 (79.9%) of stems, respectively. Three (0.7%) periprosthetic femoral fractures occurred within 2 years, all occurring in patients with neutrally aligned femoral stems. One (0.2%) stem failed due to aseptic loosening and was malaligned. CONCLUSION Despite nearly 20% of stems placed in varus alignment, three of the four early complications occurred in a neutrally aligned stem. Based on these results, forceful intraoperative realignment of a short femoral stem with good initial fixation may present an unnecessary increased risk of intraoperative fracture.

Abstract
PURPOSE Short stems are increasingly used in in total hip arthroplasty (THA) because of advantages in bone and soft tissue preservation and reconstruction of hip geometry. Short stems can be inserted in a more varus position compared to conventional straight stems. This poses the risk of final varus misplacement of the femoral component, which is not intended in all femoral short stems. METHODS We wanted to evaluate the effect of a high varus stem positioning in MIS THA on hip offset, leg length and femoral canal fill index. A series of 1052 consecutive THAs with a singular cementless femoral short stem and press-fit cup was retrospectively screened for inclusion. One hundred six patients with unilateral THA and a contralateral healthy hip met the inclusion criteria. Measurements were carried out on preoperative and 3 months anterior-posterior postoperative radiographs. Patients were divided into Group A (varus stem alignment ≤ 3°) and Group B (varus stem alignment > 3°). RESULTS Hip offset (HO) increased significantly in Group B by 4 mm (p = 0.013). No influence on leg length difference was detected in both groups. Preoperative CCD angle was significantly lower in Group B (p < 0.001). Canal Fill Indices (CFI) were significantly lower in Group B (CFI I: p < 0.001; CFI II p = 0.003; CF III p = 0.002). CONCLUSION High varus stem alignment > 3° leads to a statistically significant but minor increase in HO and poses the risk of stem undersizing. A preoperatively low genuine CCD angle pose a risk for varus stem positioning.

Abstract
PURPOSE The use of short-stemmed femoral components with preservation of the femoral neck has been advocated for younger and more active patients undergoing joint replacement. This study reports the long-term outcomes of the Collum Femoris-Preserving (CFP) prosthesis on a previous report. METHODS Between January 1999 and December 2000, a total of 149 patients underwent total hip arthroplasty procedure using the CFP stem in a single institution. At latest follow-up, 79 patients were available and were included in this study. The mean age of the cohort was 73.4 (range, 44-92 years) with a mean follow-up of 20.7 years (range 20-21). The average age was 52.1 years at index procedure (range, 21-71 years). RESULTS The Kaplan-Meier survivorship free from revision for any cause at 5, 10 and 20 years was 93.2% (87.8-96.3%), 93.2% (87.8-96.3%) and 83.0% (75.7-88.3%), respectively. At 20 years follow-up, the revision for any cause occurred in 26.6% (21 of 79) of patients. The most common causes for revision surgery were aseptic loosening, dislocation, and polyethylene wear with 6.3% (5 out of 79), respectively. Periprosthetic fracture occurred in four patients (5.1%) followed by periprosthetic joint infection in two patients (2.5%). Revision surgery of the femoral stem was required in four patients (5.1%). There was a statistically significant improvement of the Harris Hip Scores from 53 to 83.7 (range 56-91). CONCLUSION The long-term outcomes of the CFP stem are excellent, demonstrating a low rate of aseptic loosening with an excellent survivorship within 2 decades.

Abstract
PURPOSE Reoperations for secondary osteoarthritis, osteonecrosis, or hardware failure following failed internal fixation after intertrochanteric fracture (ITF) or femoral neck fracture (FNF) are common. An effective salvage treatment often involves complete removal of the hardware followed by total hip arthroplasty (THA). Almost no data are available regarding conversion to short-stem THA. This study aimed to evaluate clinical and radiological outcomes, potential complications, and the survival rate of short-stem THA following revision surgery. METHODS We investigated 27 patients who underwent conversion THA using a calcar-guided short stem. Patient-reported outcome measurements were obtained, including the Harris hip score, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, as well as pain and satisfaction on the visual analogue scale. Radiological follow-up was also performed. RESULTS We identified 18 (66.7%) patients diagnosed with FNF and 9 (33.3%) patients with ITF. Clinical and radiological outcomes were satisfactory at the last follow-up (30.56 ± 11.62 months). One patient required early revision surgery due to dislocation and greater trochanter fracture. At the last follow-up, none of the short stems required revision. No other major complications occurred. CONCLUSION Given the low rate of complications and 100% survival, our findings indicate that short stems for conversion THA due to failed internal fixation may be considered an option in a properly selected patient population. However, it should not be considered a standard procedure and should only be performed by experienced surgeons.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION While the incidence of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) is increasing constantly, newer implants with designs other than the classic Grammont geometry are gaining importance. More anatomic inclination angles and lateralization are supposed to have a positive impact on clinical results and complication rates. Presentation of midterm results therefore is important to support these assumptions. The aim of this study was to report the midterm clinical outcome of primary rTSA with an uncemented humeral short-stem prosthesis (USSP) with a humeral inclination angle of 145° and the analysis of different variables on the outcome. METHODS This is a retrospective study of all patients with primary rTSA using an USSP and a combined humeral inclination angle of 145° (Ascend™ flex, Stryker) with a minimum clinical follow-up of 2 years. The implant combines a 132.5° inclination for the humeral stem with an additional 12.5° for the polyethylene inlay. Primary outcomes were patient-reported outcome measures: ASES score, simple shoulder test (SST) and subjective shoulder value (SSV). Secondary outcomes were complication and revision rates. We analyzed different variables: preoperatively gender, age, indication for surgery and status of rotator cuff. Also, the glenoid morphology was classified according to Walch and a proximal humerus cortical bone thickness measurement (CBT avg) of 6 mm was used as a threshold for osteoporosis. Postoperatively, we analyzed different radiologic parameters: filling ratio, distalization and lateralization angles according to Boutsiadis. RESULTS A total of 84 out of 99 (85%) patients with a mean FU of 46.7 months (range 24-80 months) could be included: 62 women and 22 men with a mean age of 74.7 years. Mean ASES score significantly increased from 47 preoperatively to 85.8 at the last follow-up (p = 0.001). The postoperative SST reached an average of 65.3 and the mean SSV was 83%. None of the variable parameters analyzed could be identified as a risk factor for a lower outcome defined as a SSV < 70. Three patients (3.6%) had a complication: one incomplete lower plexus lesion, one dislocation and one major hematoma. Surgical revision was needed in two cases (2.4%). CONCLUSION The midterm clinical outcome of primary reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) with an uncemented humeral short stem and a humeral inclination angle of 145° showed good-to-excellent results with a low complication and revision rate independent from a wide range of pre- and postoperative variables. PROMs are comparable to those reported for anatomic TSA with a low complication rate, different to historical studies especially with the Grammont design. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Treatment study, Level IV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Subsidence is one of the concerning early complications in cementless femoral stem. Few publications have studied the influencing factors for subsidence in short cementless stems, due to their metaphyseal anchoring without diaphyseal invasion, they might demonstrate different subsidence patterns than with the conventional stems.
AIM To analyze the factors associated with significant subsidence in short stems, including any radiographic parameters.
METHODS The digitized radiographs of 274 consecutive short stem total hip arthroplasties were retrospectively reviewed. Subsidence, neck-filling ratio (NFR), seating height and lateral stem contact were evaluated after a minimum of two years follow-up. A threshold of subsidence > 3 mm was considered a clinically significant migration.
RESULTS For the entire cohort, subsidence occurred in 75 cases (27.4%) with the mean stem subsidence of 0.5 mm. (0-12.7, 1.68). Twelve hips (4.4%) had significant subsidence (> 3 mm). The univariate regression analysis demonstrated that age, diagnosis, BMI, Dorr’s type B, NFR, and seating height had no significant influence on significant subsidence, whereas insufficient lateral stem contact (≥ 1 mm) did have a statistically significant influence [Odds ratio (OR) = 5.02; 95%CI: 1.3-18.9; P = 0.017]. The multivariate regression analysis also demonstrated that insufficient lateral stem contact was a statistically significant influencing factor (OR = 5.5; 95%CI: 1.4-21.4; P = 0.014). There was no femoral stem revision for aseptic loosening in our cohort.
CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that insufficient lateral stem contact was a statistically significant influencing factor on significant subsidence. Therefore, it is a particularly important step to create proper lateral cortical contact when performing the short stem total hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
Background Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the most successful orthopaedic surgery of the past century. The current study aimed to compare the accuracy of digital planning using 2D versus 3D templating. Materials and methods Ninety-five THAs in 90 patients were included in the current study. Pre- and post-operative X-rays (in two planes) and low-dose rotation computed tomography scans from hip to foot were performed. Paired t-test and regression analyses were conducted to compare 2D and 3D templating accuracy of the definitive implant. Results Cup size planned both with 2D (p < 0.0001) and 3D (p = 0.012) templating was significantly different from the definitively used cup size. The difference between the 2D-planned and implanted stem size (p < 0.0001) was statistically significant. In contrast, there were no significant differences in the 3D-planned and implanted stem size (p = 0.181). Three-dimensional templating showed significantly higher accuracy than 2D templating in terms of cup size (1.1 ± 1.4 versus 1.7 ± 1.8; p = 0.007) and stem size (0.3 ± 0.6 versus 0.7 ± 0.7; p < 0.0001). With increasing body mass index (BMI), 2D templating of the stem became more inaccurate (p = 0.041). Remarkably, 3D templating remained accurate for all components (stem, p = 0.533; cup, p = 0.479) despite increasing BMI. Conclusion Despite extended planning time and increased exposure to radiation, 3D-based planning showed higher accuracy than 2D templating, especially in obese patients. On the basis of our results, we believe that 3D-based pre-operative planning in THA is justifiable and beneficial in patients with increased BMI. Level of Evidence III.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The use of short stems in primary hip arthroplasty has grown considerably in recent years, with a large variety of designs and stabilization methods available. Few studies have directly compared how these designs and fixation modes influence the bone mineral density (BMD) that is said to be better preserved with shorter implants. This led us to carry out a medium-term retrospective comparative study to (1) specify how the design of two different types of short stems influences the periprosthetic BMD, (2) compare the radiological and clinical outcomes of these stems. HYPOTHESIS The periprosthetic BMD of a short stem varies based on the implant's design. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-three patients underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) with a short stem between July 2012 and July 2014. Two groups of patients were formed: Vitae™ short stem (Adler Ortho, Milan, France), Optimys™ short stem (Mathys, Bettlach, Switzerland). The Vitae group consisted of 46 patients, while the Optimys group consisted of 47 patients. The mean age was 66 years, and the mean body mass index (BMI) was 26 kg/m2. The groups had comparable age, BMI, sex, Harris Hip score and preoperative radiological features. Periprosthetic BMD of the two types of implants was determined between the 1st and 4th year postoperative using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) in the Gruen zones. The radiological and clinical outcomes were also determined. RESULTS There was a significant decrease in BMD in zone 7(-5.8%±0.1 CI95%[-0.09; -0.02] (p=0.003)), zone 2 (-4.8% ±0.1 CI95%[-0.093; -0.003] (p=0.038)) and zone 6 (-11% ±0.2 CI95%[-0.19; -0.03] (p=0.009)) in the patients with Vitae stems and in zone 2 (-13.7%±0.3 CI95%[-0.25; -0.03] (p=0.018)) in the patients with Optimys stems. A significant difference in BMD in zone 7 at 1 year (p=0.014) and 4 years (p=0.001) postoperative and in zone 6 (p=0.011) at 4 years postoperative existed between groups, with the Optimys group having higher BMD. There was a significant increase in femoral offset in the Optimys group but not the Vitae group: Δoffset=-0.50 mm±5.2 CI95%[-2.05; 1.05] (p=0.522) and Δoffset=2.79 mm±4.2 CI95%[1.21; 4.37] (p=0.001). The Harris Hip score was not significantly different between the two groups at 4 years postoperative (95.3±2.5 [88; 99] vs. 95.2±2.6 [88; 99] (p=0.991)). DISCUSSION The design of short stems appears to influence the distribution of loads and the periprosthetic BMD. These stems are associated with very good radiological and clinical results in the medium term. Bone remodeling appears to continue beyond 1 year after the THA procedure.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In total hip replacement (THR), a short stem theoretically provides more physiological force transfer to the proximal femur, conserves bone stock and facilitates minimally invasive surgery. On the other hand, such implants involve a learning curve and incur risk of malpositioning or fracture and of secondary mobilization. There are several types of short stem, and classification is needed. Classifications exist, but are based more on implant length than on anchorage zone, and most have not been tested for reproducibility. The French Hip & Knee Society (SFHG) developed a short-stem classification based on anchorage zone inside the femur. The objectives of the present study were: (1) to present the classification, (2) to apply it to the short-stem models available in France and those widely used worldwide, and (3) to assess reproducibility. HYPOTHESIS The SFHG short-stem classification enables reproducible comparison. MATERIAL AND METHOD A short-stem classification according to anchorage zone was drawn up by an expert group. The stems and the classification were presented to 12 surgeons performing THR, who classified the stems according to the classification; a retest was performed 2 months later. RESULTS The classification is based on femoral stem anchorage site, in 5 types: type 1, cephalic; type 2, isolated cervical; type 3, Calcar femorale; type 4, metaphyseal; and type 5, conventional metaphyseal-diaphyseal, with shortened stems. Inter-observer reproducibility was 92.7% [95%CI: 91.7%-93.6%], with kappa 0.785 [95%CI: 0.755-0.814], and Lin test-rest concordance correlation coefficient 0.852 [95%CI: 0.836-0.869]. Intra-observer reproducibility was 94.0% [95%CI: 91.9%-96.1%], with kappa 0.820 [95%CI: 0.759-0.882], and Lin test-retest concordance correlation coefficient 0.820 [95%CI: 0.792-0.849]. DISCUSSION This new classification enables femoral implants to be reproducibly compared according to anchorage zone. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV; retrospective study without control group.

Abstract
PURPOSE Digital templating shows reliable accuracy for straight stem systems. In recent years, the implantation of short stems through minimally invasive approaches has gained more popularity. Minimally invasive approaches (MIS) show the risk of undersizing femoral components. Therefore, we questioned the planning adherence for a curved short stem and a bi-hemispherical acetabular cup implanted through an anterolateral MIS approach. METHODS A consecutive series of 964 hips (index surgery between 2014 and 2019) with Fitmore® curved short stem and Allofit/-S® acetabular cup (both ZimmerBiomet Inc, Warsaw, IN) were included. Preoperative digital templating was conducted anterior-posterior (AP) digital radiographs of the hip using mediCAD® version 5.1 (Hectec GmbH, Altdorf, Germany). The templates of acetabular and femoral components (offset option and stem size) were retrospectively evaluated for general adherence, and according to sex, BMI and planner's experience. RESULTS Planning adherence for the exact offset option was 70.6 and 21.6% for exact offset option and stem size. Adherence for acetabular cup ± 1 size was 74.8%. A significant difference between male and female patients for the offset option could be found (p = 0.03, z = -2983). In 22.5% of male patients, an offset option one size higher and in 12.3% of female patients an offset option one size smaller than templated was used intraoperatively CONCLUSION: Digital templating for the Fitmore® stem in cementless THA with a minimally invasive anterolateral approach shows comparable planning adherence to the existing literature for this cementless short stem. However, a lower planning adherence was detected compared to conventional straight stem systems. In male patients, the femoral offset is frequently undersized and in female patients frequently oversized compared to the preoperative plan. Surgeons should be aware of this difficulty in digital templating for Fitmore® hip stem.

Abstract
Background Correct reconstruction of hip offset (HO) and leg length are important for clinical–functional outcome and patient satisfaction in total hip arthroplasty (THA). The morphology of the proximal femur can pose a risk for increased leg length difference (LLD) in cementless straight-stem THA. We therefore wanted to evaluate, if this is also applicable in THA with a cementless meta-diaphyseal short stem. Methods In a retrospective study, 106 patients (index surgery 2014–2019) with unilateral THA and a morphologically healthy hip as a reference (Kellgren–Lawrence ≤ 1) were included. The same cementless short stem with meta-diaphyseal fixation and cementless press-fit cup was implanted. The proximal femur was rated by Dorr’s classification, and subgroups were formed afterward. Measurements were carried out on preoperative and 3 months postoperative anterior–posterior radiographs of the pelvis. Kruskal–Wallis test, Fisher’s exact test and binary logistic regression were performed to evaluate the influence of the anatomical shape on postoperative leg length difference and offset reconstruction. Results The Dorr type did not show any significance influence on LLD (p = 0.532), or postoperative difference in femoral offset (p = 0.243), acetabular offset (p = 0.106) and hip offset (p = 0.698). Stem alignment (p = 0.705) and canal fill indices (CFI I: p = 0.321; CFI II: p = 0.411; CFI III: p = 0.478) were also without significant differences. Logistic regression did not show any significant increased risk for a LLD ≥ 5 mm or ≥ 10 mm as well as HO ≥ 5 mm or ≥ 10 mm. Conclusion Reconstruction of hip offset and postoperative leg length difference is not negatively influenced by Dorr type, canal flare index, cortical index and canal-to-calcar ratio in cementless short-stem THA. Implant positioning and canal fill are also not negatively affected by the anatomical shape of the proximal femur. Level of evidence: Level IV.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study was performed to compare short and standard-length tapered-wedge-type femoral stems in single-stage bilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) through a direct anterior approach (DAA). MATERIALS AND METHODS The patients were divided into two groups according to their femoral stem types as short tapered-wedge stem and standard-length tapered-wedge stem groups. Outcome parameters were the surgical time, estimated blood loss (EBL), length of stay (LOS), thigh pain, Harris Hip Score (HHS), and visual analog scale (VAS) score clinically, and canal fill ratio (CFR), coronal plan alignment of the stems, subsidence, and postoperative leg length difference (LLD), radiologically. RESULTS The short-stem group and standard-length-stem group consisted of 20 patients (40 hips, mean age 52.0 ± 14.1) and 22 patients (44 hips, mean age 49.4 ± 11.9), respectively. There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of mean surgical times (p = 0.6), EBL (p = 0.2), LOS (p = 0.2), the rate of thigh pain (p = 0.4), improvements in HHS (p = 0.4) and VAS scores (p = 0.6), LLD (p = 0.3), amount of subsidence (p = 0.9), and varus or valgus misalignment (p = 0.7). The CFR at the level of the lesser trochanter was significantly higher in the short-stem group (0.79 ± 0.1) than the standard-length-stem group (0.73 ± 0.1) (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION In single-stage bilateral THA through DAA, short, tapered-wedge femoral stems provide similar radiographic and functional results to standard stems at short-term follow-up.

Abstract
Introduction: The design of uncemented femoral stems for use in total hip arthroplasty has evolved. Several uncemented short stems have been developed with different bone fixations, shapes, or stem lengths. The literature analyzing the biomechanical performance of short to standard stem lengths is limited. The aim was to compare the stress repartition on a standard uncemented stem and a shortened uncemented femoral stem with the same design features. Material and methods: This finite element analysis assessed the stress repartition on two femoral components with the same design (uncemented, collared, proximal trapezoidal cross-section, and a tapered quadrangular distal stem) but with two different lengths. The shortened stem was shorter by 40 mm compared to the standard stem. The stress repartition was analysed according to the Von Mises criterion. Results: The stress repartition was similar for the standard and shorter stem without significant difference (p = 0.94). The mean Von Mises stress was 58.1 MPa [0.2; 154.1] for the standard stem and 57.2 MPa [0.03; 160.2] for the short stem. The distal part of the standard stem, which was removed in the short stem, had mean stress of 3.7 MPa [0.2; 7.0]. Conclusion: The finite element analysis found similar stress repartitions between a standard uncemented collared stem and a short, collared stem with the same design. A clinical study assessing the clinical outcomes and the bone remodelling with a collared short stem would be interesting to confirm these first promising results.

Abstract
Background Short stems have constantly gained popularity in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) over the last decade. Although cementless short stems are not primarily designed to be used as revision implants, there may be certain indications for which downsizing the femoral component in failed conventional THA is potentially advantageous. Methods In this single center retrospective case series, six patients who underwent revision using a calcar-guided short stem after failed THA are presented. The mean follow-up was 3.32 years (SD 0.63 years). The health status was evaluated by the EQ-5D-5L score. Patient reported outcome measurements (PROM) were recorded using the Harris hip score (HHS) and The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). Pain and satisfaction were assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS). Radiographic analysis was performed by evaluating osteolysis, stress shielding, alignment and signs of aseptic loosening. Complications were documented. Results At last follow-up the mean EQ-5D-5L index was 0.851 (SD 0.098). Clinical outcome was excellent (HHS ≥ 90) in 4 patients and moderate (HHS 71 and 79) in 2 patients. The mean WOMAC score was 9.20% (SD 12.61%). Pain and satisfaction on VAS were 1.00 (SD 1.15) and 9.17 (SD 0.37), respectively. No major complications occurred. To date, no further revision surgery was needed. Radiologically, no signs of subsidence, aseptic loosening, stress shielding and fractures were obvious. Conclusion The present case series indicates that in failed conventional THA downsizing may be considered a treatment option, using short stem THA in selected cases.

Abstract
Background Stem size is an important element for successful time zero primary fixation of a press-fit humeral stem in shoulder arthroplasty. Little basic science research, however, has been conducted on the effects of implant thickness and canal fill on load transfer, contact, and stress shielding. The purpose of this finite element study was to determine the effects of varying stem thickness on bone contact, bone stresses, and bone resorption owing to stress shielding. Methods Three generic short-stem implant models were developed and varied based on cross-sectional thickness (thinner - 8 mm, medium - 12 mm, thicker - 16 mm). Using a finite element model, three outcome measures were determined (1) the amount of bone-to-implant contact, (2) changes in cortical and trabecular bone stresses from the intact state, and (3) changes in cortical and trabecular strain energy densities which can predict bone remodeling or stress shielding. Results Increasing the size of the humeral stem had no significant effects on bone-to-implant contact during loading (P > .07). The thinner implant with the lowest canal fill ratio produced significantly lower changes in stress from the intact state in both cortical and trabecular bone (P < .002). In addition, the thinner implant resulted in a substantially lower volume of bone predicted to stress shield and resorb when compared with the medium and thicker stems. Discussion The results demonstrate that thinner implants and lower canal fill may be beneficial over thicker sizes, provided equal initial fixation can be achieved. The thinner implant has a greater degree of load sharing and increases the mechanical load placed on surrounding bone, reducing the risk of stress shielding and bone resorption.

Abstract
Purpose The most common femoral short stems available on the market can, in principle, be divided with regard to their anchoring concepts into a calcar loading and a shortened tapered design. The purpose of this study was to compare the primary stability and stress-shielding of two short stems, which correspond to these two different anchoring concepts. Methods Using seven paired fresh frozen human cadaver femurs, primary axial and rotational stabilities under dynamic load (100–1600 N) were evaluated by miniature displacement transducers after 100,000 load cycles. Changes in cortical strains were measured before and after implantation of both stem types to detect implant-specific load transmission and possible stress-shielding effects. Results Reversible and irreversible micromotions under dynamic load displayed no significant differences between the two implants. Implantation of either stem types resulted in a reduction of cortical strains in the proximal femur, which was less pronounced for the calcar loading implant. Conclusions Both short stems displayed comparable micromotions far below the critical threshold above which osseointegration may disturbed. Neither short stem could avoid proximal stress-shielding. This effect was less pronounced for the calcar loading short stem, which corresponds to a more physiological load transmission.

Abstract
Short stems in total hip arthroplasty (THA) are becoming increasingly popular. In Germany, already 10.4% of all primary THAs are performed using a cementless short stem. The concept of modern, calcar-guided, short stems aims for an individualized reconstruction of the hip anatomy by following the calcar of the femoral neck, a bone- and soft-tissue-sparing implantation technique, and physiological loading. The stem design uses either metaphyseal fixation alone or additional diaphyseal anchoring, depending on the stem alignment and indication. These individualized anchorage types increase the potential indications for the safe use of a short stem. The design features may account for potential advantages of current short stem implants compared with earlier short-stem designs, particularly in cases of reduced bone quality or osteonecrosis of the femoral head and femoral neck fractures. The implantation technique, however, requires distinct knowledge regarding the characteristics of varus and valgus positioning, with the potential for clinical consequences. A learning curve for surgeons new to this technique must be taken into account. Cortical contact with the distal lateral cortex appears to be crucial to provide sufficient primary stability, and the use of intraoperative imaging to identify “undersizing” is highly recommended. Current results of several national registries indicate that calcar-guided short stems are among the most successful implants in terms of mid-term survivorship. However, long-term data remain scarce. This review introduces the characteristics of calcar-guided short-stem THA and summarizes the current evidence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of study was to evaluate periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) changes of proximal femur, osseointegration and clinical outcomes after implantation of short-stemmed and conventional straight-stemmed prostheses. METHODS This prospective, randomized study included 50 patients with unilateral total hip replacement. The patients were randomized into 2 cohorts: patients with a cementless short stem Metha (n=25) and patients with a cementless conventional straight stem Bicontact evaluated as the control (n=25). Periprosthetic BMD changes were measured using a DEXA performed at one-week, 3-monts, 6-months and 1-year follow up. Clinical evaluation with Harris hip score (HHS) and radiographic assessment were performed through a 1 year follow up. RESULTS Compared to 1-week postoperative assessment, there were differences in BMD changes between the groups at the final follow-up in all ROIs, with statistical significances in ROI 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7. The loss of periprosthetic BMD in all ROIs around straight stems at each time-point was observed. There was a tendency towards a regain of BMD in all ROIs at 1-year follow-up compared to the 3-months postoperative assessment with the short stems. Less pronounced bone loss was observed around the short stems that the straight stems in ROI 1 (‒2.9 % % vs ‒16.2 %), 5 (‒4.7 % vs ‒8.9 %) and 7 (‒8.6 % vs ‒20 %). The periprosthetic BMD exceeded baseline values in the short stem cohort in ROI 2 (+4.4 % vs ‒5 %), 3 (+5.6 % vs ‒2.5 %) and 6 (+4.3 % vs ‒10 %). All stems had a radiographically stable fixation. Stress shielding-related bone resorption was markedly lower in the short stem cohort. The HHS score was comparable between the two cohorts. CONCLUSION The implant-specific stress shielding altered the proximal loading condition for both stems; however, the results of this study suggest a more physiological strain distribution with the short stems versus the straight stems (Tab. 3, Fig. 3, Ref. 25).

Abstract
Purpose Obesity is associated with increased risk for surgical complications in total hip arthroplasty (THA). The impact of obesity on short-term complication in minimally invasive (MIS) anterolateral approach is not well known. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the early complications within the first 90 days after THA using a MIS anterolateral approach with a short-curved stem stratified by Body Mass Index (BMI). Patients and methods A single centre consecutive series of 1052 hips in 982 patients (index surgery 2014–2019) with a short-curved stem and press fit cup implanted using a MIS anterolateral approach in supine position were screened for inclusion. Inclusion criteria were defined as end-stage primary osteoarthritis of the hip. Eventually, 878 implantations in 808 patients were included and stratified by body mass index (BMI). Peri-operative complications, within the first 90 days after surgery, were retrospectively evaluated. Results Severely obese patients (BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2) and morbidly obese patients (BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2) demonstrated a significantly increased operation time (p < 0.001) and a higher risk for general surgical complications (p = 0.015) (odds ratio (OR) = 4.365; OR = 4.985), periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) (p = 0.001) (OR = 21.687; OR = 57.653), and revision (OR = 8.793; OR = 20.708). Conclusion The risk for early PJI and overall surgical complications in MIS anterolateral approach is significantly increased in severely and morbidly obese patients. This leads to a significantly higher risk for revision surgery after index surgery within the first 90 days. A BMI above 35 kg/m2 is the clear threshold for increased risk of PJI in MIS anterolateral THA with a short curved stem. As the surgical complications are comparable to other approaches, MIS anterolateral short stem THA is also feasible with increasing BMI.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the clinical-radiological outcomes of the Alteon Neck Preserving Stem (ANPS) (Exactech, Gainesville, FL, USA) implanted in four different centres by five senior hip surgeons with a minimum of 5 years of follow-up. MATERIAL AND METHOD We conducted a multicentre prospective study that analysed 155 consecutive total hip replacements during 2014. We performed clinical-radiological analysis measuring Harris Hip Score (HHS), subjective satisfaction evaluation, radiolucencies, position of components, limb length discrepancy, heterotopic ossification, medical and surgical complications and a survival analysis at 5 years follow-up. RESULTS Thigh pain was reported in 5 cases (3.2%), 2 of which reported mild pain, 2 moderate, and 1 severe. In 2 cases, subsidences of 3 mm were detected in the first scheduled X-ray, both related to intraoperative fractures with no progression after 3 months. The overall complication rate was 5.8% and 6 of the 9 complications were in the first 30 cases. Mean HHS improved from 42.9 points (range 37.2-55.7 points) preoperatively to 94.9 on average (range 87-98) at the end of the follow-up (p <0.01). Subjective evaluation was excellent in 130 (83.87%) cases and good in 25 patients (16.13%). CONCLUSIONS The clinical-radiographic results of ANPS THR are satisfactory. The mid-term results are promising. However, long-term follow-up studies are necessary to confirm the validity of the concept.

Abstract
Purpose Minimally invasive (MIS) approaches in combination with short stems have gained popularity in recent years in total hip arthroplasty (THA). A decreased risk for periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFFs) is reported for cementless short-stem THA, but in contrast to other approaches, the risk factors for PFFs for short-stem THA using MIS anterolateral approach in supine position are not described in literature. Methods A single-center consecutive series of 1052 hips in 982 patients, performed between 2014 and 2019 with a short curved stem and a press fit using an MIS anterolateral approach in supine position, was retrospectively screened for inclusion. Fourteen patients were lost to follow-up. Therefore, 1038 THAs in 968 patients were included. Risk factors for intra- and postoperative PFFs within 90 days were analyzed. We investigated for sex, age, body mass index (BMI), diagnosis, and laterality. Results In total, 18 PFFs (1.7%) occurred. Intraoperative fracture occurred in ten cases ( 0.9%), with another eight cases (0.8%) occurring postoperatively. Increased American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Score was a significant risk factor for PFF (p = 0.026), whereas sex (p = 0.155), age (p = 0.161), BMI (p = 0.996), and laterality (p = 1.000) were not. Seven PFFs (0.7%) required revision arthroplasty. Conclusion Cementless short-stem THA using the MIS anterolateral approach is a procedure with a low number of PFFs within 90 days from index surgery. Fracture rates are comparable to other MIS approaches, and comparable femoral short stems are used. Age, sex, and BMI were not identified as risk factors of PFF, while risk for PFF increased with ASA Score. Level of Evidence Level IV

Abstract
Background There is great design variability on short femoral stems available on the market. This study aims to evaluate the short-term clinical and radiological results of two different design short femoral stems, both classified as shortened tapered stems. Methods From March 2016 to March 2018, a prospective, randomized, parallel-group design study was conducted to compare functional and radiological outcomes of 45 patients underwent THA using the Tri-Lock Bone Preservation Stem and 45 patients underwent THA with the Minima S stem at a minimum 2 years of follow-up. Patients were assessed clinically and radiographically prior to surgery as well as at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively. Primary outcomes were the change in health-related quality of life assessed with Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index and 36-Item Short Form Health Survey and also the incidence of all hip-related complications. Secondary aims included hip function evaluated with the Harris hip score, rates of patient satisfaction, and the outcomes of a detailed radiological analysis. Results There were no significant differences between the 2 study groups in terms of patient-reported outcomes measurements, satisfaction scores, and complication rates at any of the measurement times. In both groups, stable fixation and radiographic osseointegration were achieved. However, analysis of the calcar region showed that 57.8% and 28.9% of patients had grade 1 or 2 stress shielding, in Tri-Lock and Minima S implantation group, respectively (p=0.015). Regarding coronal alignment, stems were placed in slight varus, valgus, and neutral position in 51.1%, 13.3%, and 35.6% of patients, respectively, in Tri-Lock BPS group. The Minima S stem was implanted at slight varus and valgus in 60% and 40% of patients, respectively, and neither stem in the exact neutral position. Conclusions Both different design short femoral stems demonstrated excellent clinical performance at short-term follow up. Nevertheless, concerns were raised regarding the incidence of stress shielding phenomenon and mild discrepancies in coronal stem alignment during implantation. The clinical impact of these observations should be further evaluated through larger cohorts and longer follow-up. Trial registration ISRCTN registry, ISRCTN10096716.

Abstract
Background The application of short femoral stems is partially restricted in revision surgery. This study will demonstrate the therapeutic effect and unsuitable situation for short stem revision. Methods Demographic characteristics of all patients were recorded in detail (Table 1). Anteroposterior view radiographic examinations of proximal femur are necessary before and after the operation for patients. The primary outcome of interest was the survival rate of the femoral stem at the final follow-up. Risk factors for failure were also investigated. The secondary outcomes of interest included the Harris hip score, excellent to good rate and incidence of complications. The Mann–Whitney U test was performed for comparisons between continuous variables. The chi-square test was performed for comparisons between categorical variables. Cox regression analysis was used to assess the association between potential risk factors and the failure of revision surgery.
Results A total of 381 patients with short stems were retrospectively reviewed. There were 188 males and 193 females. The average age and body mass index before revision surgery were 58.85 ± 13.46 years and 23.72 ± 3.40 kg/m2, respectively. The mid-term survival rate of the short femoral component was 94.23%. The prognosis and complications of patients between the two groups were compared. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the Harris score, complication incidence or survival rate of the femoral component. The strongest risk factor in this study was intraoperative periprosthetic femoral fracture during revision surgery (HR = 5.477, 95% CI = 2.156–13.913). Conclusion Three risk factors for failure were identified: ageing, osteoporosis and intraoperative periprosthetic femoral fracture during revision surgery. Therefore, a short femoral stem should be implanted in patients with these risk factors with additional caution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to compare the clinical and radiographic mid-term results between short and conventional stems. METHODS Patients with bilateral osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) who had undergone bilateral staged THAs using short stem in one hip and conventional stem in the contralateral hip were included. The Harris Hip Score (HHS), thigh pain, patient's joint perception (PJP) and patients' preferred hip were recorded. Using x-ray, osseointegration and stress shielding were analyzed and compared between stems. RESULTS There were 35 cases (70 hips) with the mean age of 46.3 years (25-63), and the mean follow-up was 75.1 months (60-108). HHS was significantly improved in both short and conventional groups (p < 0.001). There was mild thigh pain in 2 cases (5.7%) of the short stem group and 6 cases (17.1%) of the conventional group. With regard to the PJP, we found slightly more natural joint feeling in the short stem group. Of the patients' preferred hip, 11 cases (31.4%) preferred short stem hip and 6 cases (17.1%) preferred conventional stem hip. The short stem group showed osseointegration mainly in the proximal part. The conventional stem group showed osseointegration mainly in the distal part. We found stress shielding grade 1 in 31 cases (88.6%) and grade 2 in 3 cases (8.6%) in the conventional stem group, whereas only grade 1 in 34 cases (97.1%) in the short stem group. CONCLUSIONS The clinical results were promising in both short and conventional stems; however, short stem showed less thigh pain, slightly more natural joint feeling (PJP) and more patients' preferred hip. The short stem provided more favorable results for proximal load transfer and slightly less stress shielding.
