Clinical and radiographic outcomes with the Nanos™ short-stem hip implant at 24 months: A prospective, single-center study.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Short-stem total hip arthroplasty is designed to preserve proximal bone stock in case of eventual revision, potentially benefiting younger and more active patients. This prospective, single-center study assessed the safety and performance of the partially neck-sparing Nanos™ short-stem uncemented prosthesis at 24 months using clinical outcome scores and radiographic results.
