The M.E Müller straight stem prosthesis: 15 year follow-up. Survivorship and clinical results.

The aim of the study was to document the long-term clinical and radiologic results as well as the 15 year survival of a single cemented straight stem. Our series consisted of consecutive patients with 161 straight stem prostheses implanted between 1984 and 1987 in 152 patients. Follow-up was performed prospectively at 1, 2, 5, 10 and 15 years post-operatively.
