Abstract

OBJECTIVE:  The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of stem positioning on the biomechanical performance of a novel, collared, short-stem total hip implant under compression and torsion

STUDY DESIGN:  Six canine cadaveric femurs were implanted with a collared short-stem femoral implant. Canal flare index (CFI), stem angle, absolute and relative cut heights and relative size were measured radiographically and used as independent variables. Biomechanical performance of the construct was evaluated using physiologic loading (loading) and supraphysiologic loading (failure) protocols.

RESULTS:  During loading protocols, compressive stiffness was influenced by absolute cut height (

CONCLUSION:  The biomechanical performance of the collared short-stem implant was positively impacted by preserving more of the femoral neck, having a higher CFI and using a smaller implant size relative to the femoral neck isthmus.
