Introduction: The comparison between the cementless taper wedge stem and fit-and-fill stem in total hip arthroplasty (THA) for various proximal femoral morphological types has not been thoroughly assessed. This study aimed to compare the risk of leg length discrepancy (LLD) ≥ 10 mm between these two stem types in Dorr type A, B, and C femurs.
Materials And Methods: From April 2015 through April 2021, we analyzed 1178 unilateral primary cementless THA procedures.
Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the effects of lateral hinge fractures on outcomes following medial open wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) using a structural allograft, focusing on recovery and functional scores of patients.
- Out of 88 MOWHTO procedures analyzed, 29.5% resulted in lateral hinge fractures, yet these did not lead to delayed union, nonunion, or the need for reoperations.
- Functional scores were similar for patients with and without lateral hinge fractures, indicating that the use of structural allografts provided satisfactory results regardless of the fracture presence.
Introduction: The choice between a cementless taper wedge stem and a fit-and-fill stem in total Hip arthroplasty (THA) for various proximal femoral morphological types has not been thoroughly evaluated. This study aimed to compare the risk of stem-related complications between these two stem types in Dorr type A, B, and C femurs.
Materials And Methods: From January 2015 through April 2021, we retrospectively reviewed 1995 cementless THA procedures.
