Do short-stemmed-prostheses induce periprosthetic fractures earlier than standard hip stems? A biomechanical ex-vivo study of two different stem designs
Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, 06/25/08
Thomsen MN et al. - Short-stemmed prostheses, especially the Mayo® hip, do not constitute a higher fracture risk. In general, an increased body mass index among patients with a cementless hip stem is associated with an increased fracture risk, particularly at high load values, i.e., resulting from a step during stumbling. Taking into account the ascertained results, the danger of provoking a femoral periprosthetic fracture can be reduced.
