Stem Design in Total Hip Arthroplasty Influences Ipsilateral Knee Valgus: A Retrospective Comparative Analysis of 2953 Cases
Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) affects the biomechanics of the hip and the patient gait. The stem design influences femoral lever ratios and tissue trauma. Biomechanical changes such as these have the potential to induce knee arthritis. A varus or valgus configuration of knee arthritis is...

description | Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) affects the biomechanics of the hip and the patient gait. The stem design influences femoral lever ratios and tissue trauma. Biomechanical changes such as these have the potential to induce knee arthritis. A varus or valgus configuration of knee arthritis is formed by asymmetric loadings. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of stem design in THA on knee valgus by comparing a standard implant with an implant with a short stem. Methods: A total of 2953 patients who underwent primary total knee arthroplasty for end-stage osteoarthritis between 2015 and 2021 were included in this retrospective data analysis. Patients were divided into three groups, depending on hip status (straight stem, short stem, and native joint). Leg alignment was distinguished as varus or valgus, and the degree of axial deviation was measured. Descriptive and explorative statistical analyses were performed, with a p value < 0.05 set as significant. Results: Ipsilateral knee valgus occurred significantly more often in patients with straight stems (57.2%) than in those with short stems (29%) and native joints (25.8%) (p < 0.001). Additionally, mean valgus deviation was significantly increased in patients with straight stems (8.9°) compared to those with short stems (6.4°) or native hip joints (6.7°). Both findings were accentuated in women. Conclusions: Previous ipsilateral straight-stem THA is associated with knee valgus deformity, especially in women. Short-stem THA seems to be better suited to restoring physiological biomechanics and preventing the development of valgus osteoarthritis of the ipsilateral knee. |
