Varus will have varus; a radiological study to assess and predict varus stem placement in uncemented femoral stems.

Background: Varus inclination of the uncemented stem is not necessarily a technical error. The proximal femoral anatomy of hips with a coxa vara deformity frequently predisposes varus inclination.

Methods: We reviewed a series of 200 patients undergoing primary uncemented THA with the Corail® hip system.

Total hip arthroplasty after contralateral hip disarticulation: a challenging "simple primary".

Patients with lower limb amputation have a high incidence of hip and knee osteoarthritis in both the residual limb and the contralateral limb. Hip disarticulation is a radical surgery usually performed in younger patients after malignancy or trauma. Compliance is poor with existing prostheses, resulting in increased dependency on and use of the remaining sound limb.
