Because of preservation of proximal femoral bone stock and minimized soft tissue trauma, short-stem implants are becoming increasingly important in total hip arthroplasty (THA). The postulated advantage regarding the functional outcome has not been verified. We hypothesized an increased abductor muscle strength by the use of a short-stem design. Seventy consecutive patients of a randomized clinical trial were included. Of these, 67 patients met the inclusion criteria after 12 months. Thirty-five patients received a standard straight stem and 32 patients a short-stem femoral component. All surgeries were performed by a modified direct lateral approach. Isometric muscle strength of the hip abductors was evaluated preoperatively 3 and 12 months after surgery. Harris hip score (HHS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores were evaluated. After three months, there were no differences between the two groups; the abductor force was comparable to the preoperative initial values. After 12 months, a significant increase in muscle strength for the short stem patient group compared to preoperative baseline values was measured (straight-stem THA, 0.09 Nm/kg ± 0.4, p = 0.32; short-stem THA, 0.2 Nm/kg ± 0.3, p = 0.004). Comparison of the 12-month postoperative total HHS and WOMAC revealed no significant differences between both groups. A significant increase in hip abductor muscle strength 12 months after short-stem THA compared to conventional-stem THA was observed.

Direct Lateral Approach

Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) via the direct anterior approach has increased in popularity in the last decade, with research supporting enhanced early recovery; however, some investigators have reported increased early revision rates in direct anterior THA. We examined outcomes from a single institution’s experience with a fully hydroxyapatite-coated collared femoral stem implanted via the anterior or the lateral approach. Methods: Patients who had received fully hydroxyapatite-coated collared femoral stems as part of THA surgery performed by 1 of 3 surgeons between January 2012 and September 2017 were identified from our institutional database. We examined revision rates for the 2 approaches and compared them between the 2 groups. We also analyzed outcomes on plain film radiographs obtained immediately postoperatively and at 1 and 2 years. Results: A total of 695 patients received a fully hydroxyapatite-coated collared stem during the study period. Total hip arthroplasty was performed via the direct anterior approach in 281/778 hips (36.1%) and via the direct lateral approach in 497 (63.9%). Nineteen patients (2.5%) underwent subsequent revision surgery; there was no statistically significant difference in the revision rate between the anterior and lateral approaches (2.5% v. 2.4%, p = 0.95). The mean subsidence of the stem at 1 year was 1.68 mm (standard deviation 11.7 mm). No statistically significant differences were observed between the cohorts for any of the radiographic measurements at either follow-up time. Conclusion: We found no significant difference in revision rates between the direct anterior and direct lateral approach. Stem subsidence levels were in keeping with expected values, and no major changes in stem position occurred during the first postoperative year. Surgical approach did not appear to substantially affect biomechanical stem behaviour.

A modified lateral approach of Hardinge allows adequate access for orientation of the implant was described. Although this approach is more difficult than the posterior approach, there is a learning curve, when mastered, it'll definitely reduce the incidence of dislocation. In the Author's opinion, this approach should be used routinely for total hip arthroplasty for fractured neck of femur where the incidence of dislocation is unacceptably high using the posterior approach.
