Optimum stem length for mitigation of periprosthetic fracture risk following primary total knee arthroplasty: a finite element study

PURPOSE: Due to age-related changes to the material properties and thinning of the cortical bone structure, older patients with osteoporosis may be at greater risk of femoral fracture following total knee arthroplasty. This study investigates whether there is a potential role for stemmed prostheses...
