Short-Term Results of Ultra-Short Anatomic vs Ultra-Short Non-Anatomic Proximal Loading Uncemented Femoral Stems

Both ultra-short anatomic and ultra-short non-anatomic proximal loading uncemented femoral stems obtained rigid fixation without diaphyseal stem fixation in the short-term follow-up. This finding suggests that an ultra-short anatomic uncemented femoral stem can be replaced with an ultra-short non-anatomic uncemented stem to reduce inventory of the femoral stems, and consequently reduce manufacturing and delivery cost of these femoral stems.
