U.S., May 21 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07600632) titled 'Retrospective and Prospective Evaluation of Hip Short Stem Performed by Anterior Approach' on May 13.
Brief Summary: This study aims to evaluate the clinical, radiographic, and perioperative outcomes of short femoral stems implanted during primary total hip arthroplasty performed through a minimally invasive direct anterior approach (DAA). Short femoral stems have been developed to preserve proximal femoral bone stock, potentially provide a more physiological load transfer, and facilitate implantation through less invasive surgical exposures, particularly in younger and more active patients.
The stem is a cementless hydroxyapatite-c...
