Overview
Brief Summary
The investigators determined whether
- new short, metaphyseal-fitting cementless anatomical femoral stem provides major functional improvements
- radiographically secure implant fixation is achieved with this new stem
- the bone content is preserved at the baseline level or above at the final follow-up
- these procedures are associated with early failure and complications.
Detailed Description
To attempt reduction of stress shielding and thigh pain as well as to improve survivorship, a new short, metaphyseal-fitting cementless anatomical femoral stem was developed. The question arises as to whether it is possible to obtain rigid fixation of the stem without diaphyseal fixation in the young as well as in the elderly patients. The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical and radiographic results of the new short, metaphyseal-fitting cementless anatomical femoral stem in the young as well as in the elderly patients.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Osteoarthritis of hip joint requiring total hip arthroplasty
Exclusion Criteria
- •Neurologic disorders affecting motor function of lower extremity foot and ankle disorders limiting ambulation of the patient
- •Patients with bone metabolic disorders other than osteoporosis which prevents normal bone metabolism
- •Multi-systemic inflammatory arthritis which debilitates patients other than hip joint.
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Harris hip score
Time Frame: At least 5 years after surgery
This is a verified scoring tool for measuring hip function.
Secondary Outcomes
- Improvement in the Range of Motion(At least 5 years after surgery)
