Primary stability of a shoulderless Zweymüller hip stem: a comparative in vitro micromotion study

BACKGROUND: The Zweymüller stem design has proven long-term stability with a 20-year survival rate of over 90 %. Primary stability necessitates implant-bone micromotions below 150 μm, otherwise bony ingrowth is negatively influenced. METHODS: Using fresh paired human femurs, we investigated a modifi...
