Subsidence of Modular Fluted Tapered Stems After Femoral Revision Surgery: Risk Factors and a Novel Classification System
Short MFT stems and severe bone defects were associated with higher subsidence risk, while patient factors such as age, weight, and height-modulated this risk. Individualized implant choice and structured radiographic monitoring are essential to optimize outcomes in femoral revision surgery using MFT stems.
