Does femoral stem choice associate with survivorship and clinical outcomes after conversion total hip arthroplasty? A retrospective analysis and novel treatment algorithm
Femoral stem fixation type in cTHA correlated with prior fracture pattern and fixation construct. Survivorship free from stem-related failure requiring stem revision was 100% and survivorship free from all-cause failure was 89%. We propose a novel algorithm that may assist surgeons in selecting femoral stem at the time of cTHA using different patient-specific and radiographic factors.
