Low rate of early periprosthetic fractures in cementless short-stem total hip arthroplasty using a minimally invasive anterolateral approach

ConclusionCementless short-stem THA using the MIS anterolateral approach is a procedure with a low number of PFFs within 90  days from index surgery. Fracture rates are comparable to other MIS approaches, and comparable femoral short stems are used. Age, sex, and BMI were not identified as risk factors of PFF, while risk for PFF increased with ASA Score.Level of EvidenceLevel IV
