Biomechanical comparison of different locations for a proximal femoral window: A cadaver study
Lateral locations of the proximal femoral window were associated with the largest number of fractures through the window, and ventral locations with the smallest number. Surgeons may therefore consider using a ventral window when changing a cemented stem in revision hip arthroplasty.
