Abstract

The cementless, tapered wedge, short femoral stem implant is commonly used in direct anterior approach (DAA) total hip arthroplasty (THA). The lack of access and visualization, however, may increase the risk of perioperative fracture and early failure. Therefore, the current study examined perioperative complications and 2-year implant survivorship following DAA THA performed using a fracture table and short, tapered wedge femoral stem. A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients having undergone DAA THA with a cementless, tapered wedge, short femoral stem. Perioperative fractures were noted and survivorship was determined by the incidence of revision surgery within a minimum 2-year follow-up period. A total 366 consecutive patients (441 hips) were identified in the cohort. Four patients (6 hips; 1.4%) were lost to follow-up and three patients died from unrelated causes. Average follow-up time for …
