Successful reconstruction of natural femoral anteversion using a short femoral stem in total hip arthroplasty surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) involves postoperative risks, such as thigh pain, periprosthetic fractures, and stress yielding. Short, anatomical, metaphyseal-fitting, cementless femoral stems were developed to reduce these postoperative risks. This study aimed to examine the "MiniMAX" prosthesis, which is a new generation, short, anatomical femoral stem made by Medacta.

Methods

Patients underwent a low-dose computed tomography scan. Femoral anteversion was measured. We assessed the position and anteversion of the femoral component and compared them with the unoperated side. We also assessed the patients' satisfaction and functional levels at 6 months postsurgery using the Harris Hip Score (HHS) and the Oxford Hip Score (OHS).
