The Morscher-Spotorno (MS-30) femoral stem is a stainless-steel, straight, three-dimensionally tapered, collarless implant for
Objectives. Third-body wear is believed to be one trigger for adverse results

may release metal particles from MOM replacements. We therefore

We investigated 219 revisions of total hip replacement (THR) in 211 patients using a collarless double-taper

We performed a case–control study to compare
the rates of further surgery, revision and complications, operating time
and survival in patients who were treated with either an uncemented
hydroxyapatite-coated Corail bipolar femoral stem or a cemented
Exeter stem for a displaced intracapsular fracture of the hip. The
mean age of the patients in the uncemented group was 82.5 years
(53 to 97) and in the

Bone mineral density (BMD) around the femoral component has been reported to decrease after total knee replacement (TKR) because of stress shielding. Our aim was to determine whether a

Conventional
Intramedullary infection in long bones represents
a complex clinical challenge, with an increasing incidence due to the
increasing use of intramedullary fixation. We report a prospective

(RIA) system, in association with antibiotic
We undertook a multicentre, prospective study of a series of 112 unstable trochanteric fractures in order to evaluate if internal fixation with a sliding screw device combined with augmentation using a calcium phosphate degradable
