In this study, we compared differences in motion at the bone-prosthesis interface in femora in which a fluted, tapered, or cylindrical distal stem design had been implanted in a revision total hip arthroplasty model. Paired, fresh-frozen, cadaveric femora underwent resection of the proximal femur to simulate the proximal femoral bone loss often present during revision total hip arthroplasty and implantation with either a fluted, tapered stem or a clinically proven cylindrical stem. Specimens were then preloaded and subjected to a synchronous axial and torsional load with continuous monitoring of axial displacement and rotation. For the fluted, tapered stem, mean axial and rotational displacements were 13.33 microm and 9.81 microm, respectively, compared with 18.37 microm and 13.40 microm for the cylindrical stem (both Ps < .05). Therefore, the fluted, tapered stem design that was tested demonstrated superior initial biomechanical stability compared with that of the clinically proven cylindrical design tested. However, both stems demonstrated motion below the threshold necessary for bony ingrowth. Knowledge of the initial biomechanical properties of different stem designs may assist the revision joint surgeon in choosing the optimal prosthesis for implantation.

Background: The tapered fluted titanium stem is a viable option for complex hip reconstruction. We therefore, evaluate the results of complex hip arthroplasty for femoral bone loss (Paprosky type IIIA to type IV femoral defect), using a modular fluted titanium stem.
Methods: Data for this retrospective study was collected from the medical records of the 2 participating orthopaedic units from December 2018 to December 2021.

Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the long-term clinical outcomes of revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with severe femoral bone defects, using established scoring systems to measure results.
- Results showed significant improvements in hip function scores and high rates of bone ingrowth (91%) with cortical strut allografts well incorporated in most patients.
- The survival rate of the femoral components after an average follow-up of 26.5 years was 91%, indicating positive long-term outcomes for patients undergoing this procedure.
Retrospective survival analysis of the use of uncemented modular tapered stems for revision in periprosthetic Vancouver B-type fractures. Is instability a threat to survival?

Introduction And Objectives: Periprosthetic hip fractures show increasing incidence and complexity, representing a challenge for the surgeon. We aimed to evaluate the survival of uncemented modular tapered stems in the treatment of periprosthetic Vancouver B2 and B3 type fractures and review the main complications and factors associated with decreased survival.
Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective study of patients submitted to revision arthroplasty for treatment of periprosthetic femoral stem Vancouver B2 and B3 type fractures with an uncemented modular fluted tapered stem (MRP-Titan).
Is suture-based cerclage biomechanically superior to traditional metallic cerclage for fixation of periprosthetic femoral fractures: A matched pair cadaveric study.

Background: While traditional metallic cerclage remains the primary method in clinical application, non-metallic cerclage systems have recently gained popularity due to low risks of soft tissue irritation and bone intrusion. The objective of this study was to assess the performance of a novel non-metallic suture-based cerclage in comparison to traditional metallic cerclage cables for fixation of periprosthetic femoral fractures.
Methods: An extended trochanteric osteotomy was performed on eight pairs of cadaveric femora, followed by reduction using either metallic cerclages (Group I) or the suture-based cerclage (Group II).
Influence of proximal femoral morphology on osteointegration of the AMIS uncemented femoral stem in modern hip arthroplasty.

Orthopedics and Traumatology Department, Erasme Hospital, Brussels, 1070, Belgium.
Background: Indications for total hip arthroplasty (THA) have evolved over recent decades, with a growing trend toward operating on younger and more active patients. With this shift in patient demographics, there has been a change in femoral stem designs and proximal femoral morphology encountered. This study aimed to evaluate the potential correlation between femoral stem osteointegration and proximal femoral morphology using the Dorr and Noble classifications.
