Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this study is to compare the long-term survival as well as the functional and radiographic results of the rods in the alignment of the varus to the stems in the neutral alignment by comparing 2 groups of implanted Total Hip Arthroplasty. 1 group of stems implanted in varus position. 1 group of stems implanted in neutral position

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction: Femoral stem positioning in the frontal plane has always been considered a fundamental criterion for implant survival and for functional and radiographic outcomes in total hip arthroplasty (THA). The impact of implanting cementless femoral stems in varus alignment on long-term mechanical complications remains poorly defined in the literature. The aim of our study is to compare long-term survivorship as well as functional and radiographic outcomes of stems in varus alignment to stems in neutral alignment.

Patients and Methods: This single center, multi-surgeon, retrospective case-control study will compare a group of 105 THA patients with varus stem alignment (VS) to a control group of 105 THA patients with neutral stem alignment (NS), operated in Brest center between January 2007 and December 2012. The primary outcome measure is implant survival. Secondary outcomes include functional outcomes: HHS, PMA, thigh pain, dislocation and hip ROM; and radiographic outcomes: radiolucency, Agora Roentgenography Assessment (ARA) score, osseointegration, heterotopic ossification, subsidence and stress shielding.
