The purpose of this study was to determine whether the short, metaphyseal fitting femoral stem would achieve stable fixation without diaphyseal fixation. A total of 126 patients (144 hips) were included in the study, and their mean age was 53.9 years (26-65 years). The mean duration of follow-up was 4.5 years (4-5 years). The predominant diagnosis was osteonecrosis of femoral head (88 of 144 hips, or 61%). The mean preoperative Harris hip score was 45 points, which improved to 96 points by the final follow-up. Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis score and patient's activity score were improved substantially at the final follow-up. This short, metaphyseal fitting cementless femoral component achieved stable fixation without diaphyseal fixation, and there was minimal stress-shielding bone resorption in the calcar region.

Background: Few comparative studies on the correlation between stem length, stem alignment, and/or stress shielding have been conducted in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA). This study aimed to investigate the effects of different humeral stem lengths on stem alignment and proximal stress shielding after rTSA.
Methods: A total of 320 patients who underwent primary rTSA from October 2010 to May 2020 with at least 2 years of follow-up (mean follow-up: 32.

Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has increased along with an increasing demand for improved quality of life. Combined with prolonged life expectancy, the number of revision surgeries is expected to increase. Stress shielding is a significant issue with traditional femoral stems used in THA, making revision surgeries particularly challenging in younger patients.

Introduction: Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty (RTKA) is complex, and induced bone loss might endanger implant fixation and joint stability. Intramedullary stems improve fixation throughout stress redistribution. The current study aims to compare the performance of short tibial stems with long tibial stems, investigating their intermediate-term radiographic and survival outcomes in RTKA.

Background: Heterozygous TRPV4 mutations cause a group of skeletal dysplasias characterized by short stature, short trunk, and skeletal deformities.
Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the natural history of clinical and radiologic features of patients with different TRPV4-related skeletal dysplasias.
Materials And Methods: Thirteen patients with a mutation in TRPV4 were included in the study, and 11 were followed for a median of 6.
Biomechanical analysis of a short femoral stem used in revision total hip replacement of a standard femoral stem.

Short-stem total hip arthroplasty (SHA) has become popular because it preserves femoral bone stock and enables the use of short femoral stems in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, no study has evaluated whether a short stem in revision THA, replacing a standard stem, can provide adequate primary stability to facilitate osseous integration. In this biomechanical study, a metaphyseal anchoring SHA (Tri-Lock BPS) stem and a standard THA (Corail) stem were implanted into ten composite femurs and loaded dynamically from 300 to 1700 N with 1 Hz.
