Purpose: to systematically review comparative studies reporting revision rates, clinical outcomes, or radiographic outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) using collared versus collarless conventional-length uncemented hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated stems.

Methods: In adherence with PRISMA guidelines, a literature search was performed on Medline, Embase, and Scopus. Comparative clinical studies were eligible if they reported outcomes of collared versus collarless uncemented HA-coated stems for primary THA. Two reviewers screened titles, abstracts, and full-texts to determine eligibility; then performed data extraction; and assessed the quality of studies according to Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) checklist.

Results: The search returned 972 records, 486 were duplicates, and 479 were excluded after title/abstract/full-text screening. Three further studies were included from the references of eligible studies and from discussions with subject matter experts, resulting in 11 included studies. The JBI checklist indicated six studies scored ≥7 points and four studies ≥4 points. Pooled data revealed collared stems had significantly lower revision rates (OR = 0.45; 95% CI = 0.31-0.64) and subsidence (MD = -1 mm; 95% CI = -1.6--0.3), but no significant difference in intraoperative complication rates (OR = 0.94; 95% CI = 0.67-1.32) in the short term to mid-term. Unpooled data indicated that collared stems provide equivalent survival, equivalent or better outcomes, and equivalent or lower complication rates.

Conclusion: In comparative studies, collared stems have lower revision rates than collarless stems, as well as equivalent or better clinical and radiographic outcomes. Differences could be due to a protective effect that the collar offers against subsidence, particularly in undersized or misaligned stems. Further studies are warranted to confirm long-term results and better understand differences between registry data and clinical studies.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines how predator hunting strategies (stalking by cougars and coursing by wolves) affect the movement behaviors of both predators and their ungulate prey in eastern Washington.
  • Using hidden Markov models on data from over 400 GPS-collared animals, researchers found that while predators adjusted their movements based on prey type, ungulates reduced their movement in areas with large predators, regardless of the predator's strategy.
  • The results indicate that predator and prey movements are influenced more by long-term patterns of risk and resource distribution than by specific hunting behaviors, highlighting the complexity of interactions in multi-predator, multi-prey systems.

Background And Purpose:  Periprosthetic femoral fracture (PFF) is a significant complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA). Although biomechanical studies have indicated that the technique by which the femoral canal is prepared plays a role, few clinical studies have reported on how this might affect the fracture risk. This study compares the fracture risk between compaction and broaching with toothed instruments in cementless THA.

Purpose: To compare clinical and radiographic outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) using standard offset versus high offset short cementless stems.

Methods: We reviewed a consecutive series of 204 primary THAs performed over 5 years using a short cementless collared stem. At a minimum follow-up of 2 years, 6 patients had deceased, 6 were not evaluated radiographically and, 2 were lost to follow-up.

Purpose: To compare clinical and radiographic outcomes of propensity-matched patients undergoing THA using standard versus high offset stems at five years.

Methods: The authors retrospectively reviewed a consecutive series of primary THAs performed between 01/09/2015-31/12/2017 using a fully-hydroxyapatite coated collared stem, with either a standard (n = 365) or high (n = 110) offset. Outcomes collected included: modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Oxford Hip Score (OHS), Forgotten Joint Score (FJS), and radiographic measurements including limb length discrepancy (LLD), stem subsidence, and stem radiolucencies.

Unlabelled: The study of animal movement provides insights into underlying ecological processes and informs analyses of behaviour and resource use, which have implications for species management and conservation. The tools used to study animal movement have evolved over the past decades, allowing for data collection from a variety of species, including those living in remote environments. Satellite-linked radio and GPS collars have been used to study polar bear () ecology and movements throughout the circumpolar Arctic for over 50 years.
