Patients With Shorter Stature Exhibit Minimal Hammering Sound Changes During Cementless Stem Insertion in Total Hip Arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Listening to the change in the hammering sound is 1 of the elements used to assess the cementless stem stability. This study aimed to quantitatively investigate the change in the acoustic characteristics between the early and late phases of cementless stem insertion in total hip arthroplasty and to identify which patient characteristics contribute to the change in the hammering sound.

Methods

The acoustic parameters of the hammering sounds in the early and late phases of cementless taper-wedged stem insertion for 51 hips in 45 patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty (mean age = 68 years, height = 1.56 m, weight = 55.0 kg) were analyzed. Parameters including patient's basic characteristics, radiographical femoral morphology, and canal fill ratio were assessed
