Tapered stem geometry provides superior initial fixation stability to cylindrical stem geometry in the setting of severe bone loss: A finite element analysis

Abstract Initial stability of cementless stems used in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is critical for subsequent osseointegration at the bone/implant interface. In the setting of revision THA, there is frequently less intact femoral bone available for fixation of the new stem. This study aims to compa...
