Implementation of a new cementless total hip arthroplasty stem does not increase variability in femoral head length selection for high-volume surgeons
Objectives and questions: The selection of femoral head size in total hip arthroplasty (THA) plays a crucial role in achieving optimal joint stability and biomechanics. Recent studies suggest that shorter heads (S/M) are typically preferred to minimize complications associated with longer heads. [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
