Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, St. Vincent Hospital Linz, Seilerstätte 4, A-4020, Linz, Austria.
Purpose: Little scientific evidence on blood loss and transfusion rates after short-stem hip arthroplasty exists. The hypothesis of this study was that the blood loss and transfusion rate is lower in short stems compared to straight stems.
Methods: We compared 124 patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a short-stem design (group 1) and 141 patients using a straight-stem design (group 2).
