Femoral component collar and calcar contact during total hip arthroplasty: gap incidence, subsidence, and biomechanical testing – a scoping review
In recent years collared femoral stems have been increasingly utilized in total hip arthroplasty (THA) for their ability to improve rotational stability, metaphyseal load transfer, and prevent periprosthetic femoral fracture (PFF). While literature has demonstrated their benefit over collarless stems, the clinical and biomechanical implications of a postoperative collar–calcar gap (CCG) after implantation remain incompletely understood. The purpose of this scoping review was to evaluate existing literature around CCG in primary THA.
Comparison of 20-year results of total hip arthroplasty using first-generation annealed highly cross-linked polyethylene and zirconia heads in patients aged 50 years
Zirconia-on-annealed HXLPE THA showed excellent 20-year wear resistance and survivorship, with comparable outcomes between ≤ 50 and > 50 groups.
People as young as 50 can need a hip replacement. Here`s everything you need to know about this common surgery
Around 117,000 people living in England and Wales had a hip replacement in 2024. Although hip replacements are often thought of as a surgery that mainly older people need, reports from previous years show that around 43% of these operations are done in people aged 50 to 69 years old.
