In the last years, many short hip stem variants were developed, almost always sharing the principle of metaphyseal and proximal diaphyseal anchorage. In this study, we analyzed the midterm results after implanting short cementless hip stem of ESKA. A total of 380 total hip replacements using the ESKA-short cementless stems were performed in a series of 340 patients between November 2002 till May 2008. The clinical and radiological evaluation of the patients was done in September 2008. The mean follow up was 37 months (3–54 months).Aim
