- - The paper examines the varying organization of healthcare systems in Europe, specifically focusing on Germany and the Netherlands, highlighting both similarities and significant differences at the macro-level.
- - It explores how these macro-level differences influence the meso- and micro-levels of healthcare, affecting individual organizations, healthcare providers, patients, and citizens, using examples like hip surgeries and antibiotic practices.
- - The conclusion discusses future research opportunities through the "CHARE-GD" project, which aims to analyze the impacts of healthcare structure differences across neighboring regions, while also addressing potential challenges in this cross-national research.

- Short-stem prostheses offer an alternative to conventional prostheses, promising benefits like less invasive surgery and better load transfer, but data on complications and durability are limited.
- A study analyzing 1327 patients showed low intraoperative (3.77%) and direct postoperative (2.44%) complication rates, with 15 conversions to straight-stem implants necessary.
- Long-term implant survival rates were high, with 95.66% after 5 years and 95.50% after 15 years, suggesting short-stem THA could be a good option for younger patients.
