Higher incidence of aseptic loosening caused by a lower canal filling ratio with a modified modular stem in total hip arthroplasty

Abstract Purpose Although a cementless modular prosthesis has shown reliable results, cases of unstable fixation and revision due to aseptic loosening were observed in our institute. The purpose of this study was to clarify the causes of unstable fixation of the prosthesis. Methods A total of 144 pa...
