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.

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.
