Influence of bone mineral density on femoral stem subsidence after cementless THA.
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg

Article Synopsis
- Femoral stem subsidence can lead to complications after total hip arthroplasty (THA), and this study investigates whether low bone mineral density (BMD) increases the risk of this issue following cementless THA.
- The analysis of 79 patients showed that stem subsidence occurred regardless of BMD levels, with surprisingly higher subsidence in those with normal BMD, and a correlation between higher BMI and increased subsidence was noted.
- Ultimately, the study concludes that cementless stems can achieve stable fixation even in patients with low BMD, and enhanced recovery rehabilitation is safe for these patients without compromising outcomes.
