Two Years Outcomes Of Total Hip Replacement Using A Short Stem With Femoral Neck Anchoring Elias I. 1, Krieger M 1, Rinaldi G. 2, Christian L. 1, Mancini N. 2 1 Klinik Rotes Kreutz, Frankfurt Am Main, Germany 2 Niguarda Cà Grande Hospital, Milan, Italy
Background Today s patients are of a younger average age with a longer life expectancy and greater expectations of activity levels 1,2 To satisfy these higher demands bone conservation, versatile and efficient solutions are required Bone conservation is achieved both by preserving bone stock during resections and by optimizing the loading of the proximal femur to preserves bone from resorption in the future 1.

Change in the age distribution of patients undergoing primary hip and knee replacement over 13 years an increase in the number of younger men having hip surgery, JBJS, 91(B), Issue SUPP I, 152 2. Australian Orthopaedics National Joint Registry, 2008
Background Neck cut in antero-posterior to improve Range of Motion and fatigue strength Reduced implant neck length to avoid leg lenght discrepancies Optimum fit and fill of the neck resection for a maximal primary fixation Distal tip is polished and rounded to minimize localized stress regions which can lead to thigh pain and to avoid cortical perforation Medial radius to optimize physiological load distribution in the proximal femur from 100mm to 140mm: iincreasing with size

Results Radiographic outcomes Trabeculae of the proximal methaphysis reoriented according to increased compressive loads Diaphyseal cortical remodelling without hyperthrophy and development of cancellous bone Visible osteointegration patterns in 100% cases already at 6 weeks postoperatively No stress shielding No progressive radiolucent line at bone-stem interface No loosening, no mechanical failure
Conclusion Good clinical outcomes already at 1 month after surgey Excellent radiographic outcomes with all positive signs of bone remodelling suggesting an optimal load transfer and good osteointegration already after 6 weeks after surgery Preservation of the diaphyseal cortical bone delivering an almost untouched femoral diaphysis for an easy and conservative revision surgery
The early clinical experience with COLLO-MIS is very satisfactory. First follow-up results are really promising. G. Rinaldi, MD Ospedale Niguarda Cà Granda, Milan, Italy Faster rehabilitation thanks to an optimal primary fixation and a minimally invasive surgical technique. M.
