While increased bone density was observed in the proximal periprosthetic area in the short stem design. Factors affecting bone remodeling after THA, include patient-related factors such as sex, age, underlying disease and quality of bone before the hip replacement, and also implant-related factors such as size, stiffness, surface finish and postoperative implant stability short stem hip arthroplasty is a reliable procedure resulting in excellent implant fixation and a predictable clinical outcome in the short term. This study have shown low rates of mechanical failure in a series of relatively young and active patients, but long - term outcome assessments are required to determine whether this type of fixation will stand the test of time UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
