- Abstract:
- Background: Straight-stem THA is currently the state-of-the-art treatment for patients with femoral neck fractures who cannot undergo head-preserving surgery. In selected cases of femoral neck fractures and post-traumatic hip osteoarthritis with osteosynthesis, the anatomy may allow treatment with a short-stem THA, which has several potential advantages over a straight-stem THA. These include a more atraumatic approach to the hip, good possibilities to reconstruct the hip geometry, and less foreign material. The aim of this study is to provide evidence that the implantation of a short-stem THA is a potential alternative for young patients with athletic aspirations.
