Key Points

This research aims to compare the stability and functional outcomes of two types of modular tapered long stems in complex femoral revision THA.
Single-center randomized prospective study with 110 patients undergoing femoral revision rTHA
Patients received either Type A or Type B stems
Radiographs analyzed for subsidence, osseointegration, and limb-length restoration
Functional outcomes assessed using Harris Hip Score, Oxford Hip Score, and EQ-VAS
Statistical analysis included Kaplan-Meier survival estimates and comparisons
Both stem groups showed high radiological stability with subsidence of 1.3 mm (Type A) and 1.5 mm (Type B)
Osseointegration achieved in over 92% of cases
Harris Hip Score improved significantly in both groups, with > 80% achieving good-to-excellent outcomes
Low and comparable complication rates were noted
Five-year survivorship was high: 98.2% (Type A) and 97.6% (Type B)

We only have this paper's title and publication details.

Prospective trial shows minimal subsidence and high osseointegration in two stem types in revision hip surgery, indicating reliable outcomes.
