Bone mineral density after implantation of a femoral neck hip prosthesis – a prospective 5 year follow-up

BACKGROUND: Bone resorption in the proximal femur due to stress shielding has been observed in a number of conventional cementless implants used in total hip arthroplasty. Short femoral-neck implants are claiming less interference with the biomechanics of the proximal femur. The goal of this study w...
