The extended proximal femoral osteotomy is becoming increasingly popular in revision total hip replacement. Our study was done to determine the femoral stem length required for stable fixation of ...

Various degrees of external rotation from 0º to 6º relative to the posterior condylar axis of the femoral component were adopted (Figure 2). Patellar tracking was tested intraoperatively after ...

As such, I like to do a thorough back examination to rule out such conditions. A loose femoral component often causes “start-up” pain: anterior thigh pain or knee pain that worsens with ...

Corentec’s femoral component is a typical double-tapered, wedge stem, designed to suit the anatomical structure in the marrow cavity. The section is rectangular-shaped, which helps to ensure ...

Some prostheses are hybrid, in which the femoral component is cemented into place while the cup is fixed without cement, or reverse hybrid, in which the femoral component is fixed without cement while ...

A femoral hernia occurs when tissue pushes through a weak spot in the muscle wall of the groin or inner thigh. Symptoms can include a tender or painful lump, groin discomfort, abdominal pain ...

The extended proximal femoral osteotomy significantly affects the strength of fixation of a cementless femoral stem. The recommendations for bypassing cortical defects by 4 to 6 cm or 2 diameters ...
