micromovement in unstable implant designs which are likely subsequently
to have a high failure rate. In 2010, the Articular Surface Replacement
(ASR) was withdrawn because of a high failure rate. In 19 ASR femoral
components, the mean micromovement over the first two years after implantation
was 0.107 mm (. sd. 0.513) laterally, 0.055 mm (. sd. 0.204)
distally and 0.150 mm (. sd. 0.413) anteriorly. The mean backward
tilt around the x-axis was -0.08° (. sd. 1.088), mean internal
rotation was 0.165° (. sd. 0.924) and mean varus tilt 0.238°
(. sd. 0.420). The baseline to two-year varus tilt was statistically
significant from zero movement, but there was no significant movement
from one year onwards. We conclude that the ASR

Aims. Periprosthetic femoral fracture (PPF) is a major complication following total hip arthroplasty (THA). Uncemented femoral components are widely preferred in primary THA, but are associated with higher PPF risk than cemented components. Collared components have reduced PPF rates following uncemented primary THA compared to collarless components, while maintaining similar prosthetic designs. The purpose of this study was to analyze PPF rate between collarless and collared component designs in a consecutive cohort of posterior approach THAs performed by two high-volume surgeons. Methods. This retrospective series included 1,888 uncemented primary THAs using the posterior approach performed by two surgeons (PKS, JMV) from January 2016 to December 2022. Both surgeons switched from collarless to collared components in mid-2020, which was the only change in surgical practice. Data related to component design, PPF rate, and requirement for revision surgery were collected. A total of 1,123 patients (59.5%) received a collarless

Aims. We aimed to compare the implant survival, complications, readmissions, and mortality of Vancouver B2 periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFFs) treated with internal fixation with that of B1 PFFs treated with internal fixation and B2 fractures treated with revision arthroplasty. Methods. We retrospectively reviewed the data of 112 PFFs, of which 47 (42%) B1 and 27 (24%) B2 PFFs were treated with internal fixation, whereas 38 (34%) B2 fractures underwent revision arthroplasty. Decision to perform internal fixation for B2 PFFs was based on specific radiological (polished
