Radiological Evaluation of the Relationship Between Cortical Hypertrophy and Stress Shielding After Total Hip Arthroplasty Using a Cementless Stem

Radiological Evaluation of the Relationship Between Cortical Hypertrophy and Stress Shielding After Total Hip Arthroplasty Using a Cementless Stem

Background: Unloading of the proximal medial femoral cortex is usually associated with an increased bone strain at the distal part of the prosthesis, which may cause distal femoral cortical hypertrophy (CH). The objective of this study was to determine the factors that may be considered a predisposi...
