Introduction:: This prospective study aims to evaluate the mid-term clinical and radiological performance of a new short, neck-preserving femoral stem in total hip arthroplasty (THA).
Patients And Methods:: 178 consecutive patients (190 hips) underwent THA from November 2008 to July 2016. Mean follow-up is 62.4 months. Women make up 41% of the cohort at a mean age of 50 ± 4 years, with primary hip osteoarthritis as the main complaint. All patients underwent radiological evaluation using the modified Gruen method, and clinical assessment via the Harris Hip Score (HHS), preoperatively and at 1, 6, 12, 24, 60, 80 and 106 months post-op.
Results:: A mean HHS increase (from 50 ± 12 points preoperatively to 96 ± 4 at 62 months), together with painless articular improvement, was present at 6 months postoperatively indicating early functional recovery. Effective osteointegration and primary stability were present on radiographic analysis, without evidence of stress shielding or stem mal-positioning: subsidence amounting to <1 mm was present in 40% of implants immediately after surgery, with subsequent stabilisation within 6 months in all cases. Metaphyseal trabecular re-orientation in absence of symptomatic cortical hypertrophy or progressive radiolucency indicates physiological load transfer in the proximal femur. Stem-related revision surgery was necessary for 1.05% of all implants due to fracture and infection. No loosening, dislocations or mechanical failures were reported.
Conclusions:: All patients show excellent functional recovery and clinical outcomes at 62 months, demonstrating the role optimal primary stability and physiological joint reconstruction play in ensuring stable secondary fixation and long-term survival of a short, neck-preserving stem.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the long-term results of THA patients who received a cementless short stem regarding clinical outcomes, bone changes, complications, and incidence of femoral revision.
Methods: A retrospective evaluation of the first 100 THA employing a type 2B cementless stem (Mini hip stem, Corin, Cirencester, United Kingdom) by the same surgeon at one institution. We only include patients with 18 years or more, and with a minimum follow up of 8 years.

Background And Purpose: We previously showed promising primary stability and preservation of bone stock with the ultra-short neck-loading hip implant in total hip arthroplasty (THA). The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical outcome, implant stability, and bone mineral density (BMD).
Methods: 50 patients were treated with the ultra-short neck Primoris hip implant at baseline and 48 were available for evaluation at 5-year follow-up.

Background: We aim to compare the preoperative planning radiographs of 50 patients in whom both a short stem and its homonymous standard version were programmed, focusing on the preservation of the neck and the invasion of the femoral shaft. The secondary objective was to evaluate the 50 preoperative radiographs with the 50 postoperative radiographs in which the short stem was implanted, measuring the real invasion of the diaphysis and the real preservation of the femoral neck.
Material And Methods: We measured cut level at the femoral neck and diaphyseal invasion in 50 preoperative x-rays where an Alteon Neck Preserving Stem (ANPS) was templated and we compared it with 50 preoperative x-rays where an Alteon Taper Wedge Stem (ATWS) was templated.

Background: Short stems are designed with a bone preservation philosophy in mind. This study aims to compare the outcomes/complications and survival of a collarless fully hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated conventional tapered stem and a HA-coated partial neck-retaining uncemented short stem in patients ⩽55 years old at medium-term follow-up.
Methods: We retrospectively studied 247 uncemented THAs operated between 2010 and 2014, comparing 146 patients treated with the fully HA-coated collarless stem (Group A) with 101 patients treated with a partial neck preserving, HA-coated short stem (Group B).

Purpose: The use of short-stemmed femoral components with preservation of the femoral neck has been advocated for younger and more active patients undergoing joint replacement. This study reports the long-term outcomes of the Collum Femoris-Preserving (CFP) prosthesis on a previous report.
Methods: Between January 1999 and December 2000, a total of 149 patients underwent total hip arthroplasty procedure using the CFP stem in a single institution.
