Influence of Femoral Stem Geometry on Total Hip Replacement: A Comparison of Clinical Outcomes of a Straight and an Anatomical Uncemented Stem.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: There are many aspects that may influence clinical outcomes in a total hip arthroplasty (THA). The influence of femoral stem on the clinical outcome of THA is probably underestimated in the literature. Our work aims to analyze how uncemented stem geometry (straight or anatomical) in THA might affect outcomes in clinical and radiographic terms. Methods: Over a period of 36 months, in a prospective-observational manner, we collected the results of THA secondary to osteoarthritis (OA) that met the inclusion criteria with the only variable being the straight or anatomical stem design in a single manufacturer. A total of 84 patients were selected and divided into two groups: group A, treated with straight stem (44 patients), and group B, treated with anatomi
