Is the strain pattern of conventional stems negatively affected by a previously short stem THA? An experimental study in cadavaric bone.

CONCLUSIONS: These data lead to the consequence that in clinical practise the implantation of a conventional stem after preparation of a short stem and even after revision of a short stem is possible without increased risk of loosening or long-term stress-shielding.
