The purpose of the study was to analyse short- and medium-term results of a modern cementless short stem design hip joint endoprosthesis together with different parameters (offset, CCD, leg length), radiological findings and scores. 186 cases using a metaphyseal fixed short stem prosthesis (MiniHip, Corin) at two hospitals were included for clinical follow-up. 180 patients were available for clinical follow-up with standardized scores: Oxford-Hip Score (OHS), Hip Dysfunction an Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) and EQ-5D – Score. The scores were caught preoperatively and postoperatively every year. Further on we could do a prospective radiological study of 250 consecutive hips with degenerative hip osteoarthritis were included (246 patients). These patients were operated by five different surgeons at 4 different hospitals. Standardized X-rays were performed with the same technique pre- and postoperatively in all patients. Different anatomical parameters of the hip were documented by using the pre- and postoperative x-rays (Offset, CCD angle, length of leg). The 250 patients included 129 female and 117 male. The average age of the patients was 59.7 years (range: 27–82 years). The whole follow-up and all measurements were performed by an independent examiner.Aim
