Can Arthroplasty Stem INfluence Outcome? (CASINO): a randomized controlled equivalence trial of 125  mm versus 150 mm Exeter V40 stems in total hip arthroplasty

DiscussionStem length may be associated with outcome; however, we can find no randomised trial in which researchers investigated the effect of stem length on patient outcome following cemented total hip arthroplasty. The aim of this trial is to determine if the use of short cemented stems offers equivalent patient outcomes to those achieved following surgery with standard length stems.Trial registrationInternational Standard Randomised Controlled Trial Number,ISRCTN13154542, Registered on 30 June 2017.
