Difference in trochanteric thickness between well-aligned and malaligned polished collarless stem

摘要

BackgroundSurgical techniques and instruments are continuously evolving to improve placement of components in ideal position. We investigated if there is difference in greater trochanter thickness between the stems in satisfactory position and stems in malposition and to assess the ideal thickness of trochanter for femoral stem placement in neutral position as under reaming of trochanter can result in stem malposition.
