Prospective clinical study using radiostereometric analysis (RSA) to evaluate fixation of a modular cemented polished femoral stem.

CONCLUSIONS: The RSA subsidence pattern at 2 years of this cemented femoral stem is similar to other successful designs with long-term follow-up. The implications over time of stem neck modularity for cemented polished tapered femoral components requires further evaluation. PMID: 31615281 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
