Femoral Cancellisation Following Total Hip Arthroplasty With a Curved Triple Taper Polished Cemented Stem.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cancellisation is a radiolucent change occasionally observed at the bone-cement interface in cemented stems after total hip arthroplasty (THA). It is thought to reflect cortical bone remodeling due to osteoporosis or altered mechanical stress. This study aimed to investigate the characteristics, contributing factors, and mechanisms of cancellisation following THA using a curved triple-taper polished cemented stem.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed 61 hips who underwent primary THA with the curved triple-taper polished cemented stem between October 2012 and September 2019, with a minimum follow-up of 5 years. Cancellisation was assessed radiographically, and patients were grouped by its presence. Between-group comparisons included age, sex, body weight, femoral m
