Evaluating the learning curve and outcomes of a new rectangular femoral stem in total hip arthroplasty: A comparative study
The introduction of a new rectangular femoral stem did not result in a significant learning curve affecting subsidence, complications, or functional outcomes. The stem demonstrated improved lateral canal filling and was associated with reduced hospital stay, suggesting a safe transition to this design without compromising early outcomes.
