Abstract
We Present the results of radiographic assessment of limb length and offset measurements of the first 50 Corin Mini Hips done at Yeovil District Hospital.
All reconstructed Hips were compared with the contra lateral hip for leg length and offset restoration using the method of Murphy et al 2007. Excellent matching with the contralateral hip in terms of leg length and offset were found in 78% of hips and fair matching in 22%. The mean leg length discrepancy was 4 mm and mean offset discrepancy was 2 mm.
Our results show that despite using a different paradigm to conventional hip replacements, this stem allows accurate restoration of hip geometry.
