Do Cementless Stems Match Any Hip? A Description of Anthropometric Measurements of the Proximal Femur in Colombia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Leg length discrepancy following hip arthroplasty causes dissatisfaction to the patient; thus, preoperative planning and implant selection is critical. The purpose of this study was to measure the articular-trochanteric distance (ATD) and femoral neck length (FNL) in our population and compare them to those of 3 of the most used uncemented stems.

Methods

In this cross-sectional study, 401 hip radiographs of healthy adults were collected between January and July 2022. The vertical ATD and FNL were measured. A linear regression model was used to identify the relationship between these measurements and age, sex, and height. A logistic regression model was used to assess the matching of native hips with the neck length of the stem.

Results

Mean age was 60 years
