Survival Rate of Short-Stem Hip Prostheses: A Comparative Analysis of Clinical Studies and National Arthroplasty Registers

Similar low revision rates for NS and NH short-stem prostheses were found in the included data. Dependent studies seem not to be biased with regard to the longevity of short-stem hip replacement. Longer follow-up periods in clinical studies and more detailed information in arthroplasty registers would be desirable for future studies.
