Biomechanics of a cemented short stem: Standard vs. line-to-line cementation techniques. A biomechanical in-vitro study involving six osteoporotic pairs of human cadaver femurs

The present in vitro study demonstrates that the line-to-line cementation technique, which is favourable regarding the philosophy of short stem THA, can be further pursued in the course of the development of a cemented short stem. Further investigations should address how well the cemented short stem compares to well-established cemented straight-stem designs.
