We report the clinical and radiological outcome of 99 Zweymuller metal on metal total hip arthroplasties in 84 patients followed up prospectively for a mean period of 9.5 (range, 6-15) years. There were 29 (34.5%) male and 55 (65.5%) female patients with a mean age of 62.85 years (range, 50-70 years) at the time of surgery. All patients had osteoarthritis. One acetabular component and one stem were revised due to aseptic loosening. One femoral stem was revised due to a periprosthetic fracture. HHS score improved from a preoperative mean of 62.56 points (SD 8.87) to a final postoperative follow-up mean of 93.48 (SD 7.7). Cumulative success rate for both implants at 13 years, with aseptic loosening as the end point, was 97.05%, while for both implants at 13 years, with revision for any reason as the end point, it was 91.17%. Satisfactory results were observed with the use of this prosthesis.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the impact of micro-threaded stem taper surfaces on issues like premature failures, aseptic loosening, and infection in cementless hip replacements.
- Researchers analyzed both new and retrieved stem tapers using advanced techniques like SEM and EDS to understand their surface properties and corrosion behavior.
- Findings indicated that ceramic heads on hip implants led to lower corrosion rates and fewer premature failures, suggesting they are beneficial for improving the longevity of total hip arthroplasty.
Total hip arthroplasty using an alkali- and heat-treated titanium Zweymüller stem with no trochanteric shoulder: results at 5-year follow-up.

Background: A trochanteric shoulder is 1 of the characteristics of the original Zweymüller femoral stem for total hip arthroplasty (THA). There have been few clinical reports of THA using recently available versions of Zweymüller-type stems with eliminated trochanteric shoulder.
Methods: 82 consecutive THAs with a Zweymüller-type stem without trochanteric shoulder were analyzed.

A model-based radiostereometric analysis (MBRSA) is a method for precise measurement of prosthesis migration, which does not require marking the implant with tantalum beads. Instead, the prosthesis pose is typically recovered using a feature-based 2D-3D registration of its virtual model into a stereo pair of radiographs. In this study, we evaluate a novel intensity-based formulation of previously published nonoverlapping area (NOA) approach.

Introduction: Since 1979 the number of patients treated with femoral stems has continued to grow, as well as the number of stems with features similar to the Zweymüller prosthesis produced by different companies. Identification can be problematic in case requiring revision. In the present paper, we present an overview of morphometric differences between the different stem designs, which can be useful for radiologic identification in revision cases.

Background: Although few studies have examined the direct effect of stress shielding on clinical outcomes, periprosthetic bone loss due to stress shielding is still an issue of concern, especially when physicians perform uncemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) in younger patients. Differences in femoral stem design may affect the degree of postoperative stress shielding. Therefore, the characteristics of the behavior for stress shielding of each type of femoral stem should be determined.
