Comparison of High-tensile Suture and 16-gauge Wire for Prophylactic Fixation in Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Biomechanical Study
High-tensile suture was comparable to wire for calcar fixation in collarless TT stems. In TS stems, noninferiority was not demonstrated. Suture constructs may offer practical advantages and warrant further study.
