No Difference in Gender-specific Hip Replacement Outcomes

No Rationale for Gender Specific Femoral Stems for Total Hip Arthroplasty

The purpose of this study was to compare the applicability of two femoral stem systems in male and female populations via preoperative templating. The radiographs of 47 consecutive patients (94 hips) were templated using one of two stem systems by first fixing the acetabular center of rotation. Based upon templating, the result categories were: no obvious advantage of either system, System 1 pr...

Second, we sought to analyze how the preoperative, 1- and 6-year outcomes were associated. Patients and methods - By assessing the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register (SHAR), 15,755 patients with complete follow-up were in...
