Title
Increased anteversion of press-fit femoral stems compared with anatomic femur.
Authors
Emerson, Roger H, Jr
Abstract
With contemporary canal-filling press-fit stems, there is no adjustability of stem position in the canal and therefore the canal anatomy determines stem version. Stem version will affect head/neck impingement, polyethylene wear from edge loading, and hip stability, but despite this, the postoperative version of a canal-filling press-fit stem is unclear.
