Does the calcar femorale affect the position of uncemented short stems?
The calcar femorale is a consistent anatomical structure which may be the cause for an increased gap medial to the short stem in 50% of our cases. It limits the intramedullary space and influences both stem size and orientation. The CF angle which correlates with femoral antetorsion may influence the anteversion of the stem.
