*Email: joseph.fetto@nyumc.orgNon-cemented components have traditionally employed several possible features, among <strong>the</strong>ma stemand/or collar, to achieve proper alignment and initial implant stability within <strong>the</strong> proximalfemoral cavity.The advent <strong>of</strong> MIS has stimulated an interest in reducing <strong>the</strong> dimensions <strong>of</strong> implants,specifically stem length,in order to facilitate introduction and implantation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> component. The consequence <strong>of</strong> thistrend appears to bean increase in early aseptic failure, <strong>of</strong> some components, due to loosening andmigration. Several importantquestions have arisen.1. What are <strong>the</strong> direction <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> deforming forces about a hip during daily activities?2. What design features should a short stem implant exhibit so as to provide optimum stabiltyagainst <strong>the</strong>se forces?3. Is having a stem an absolute requirement <strong>of</strong> a femoral component?4. What is <strong>the</strong> miniimum "safe" length a stem must have?5. How can proper short stem alignment be optimized? Is intra-operative x-ray exposurenecessary?This presentation will discuss <strong>the</strong> computer modelling, laboratory testing and clinical outcomes<strong>of</strong> variouscomponent designs; and make suggestions concerning directions for future investigations.FiguresFriday, October 8, 2010, 16:30-17:20Session A16: Computer Navigation in THAThe Accuracy <strong>of</strong> Cup Position in Total Hip Arthroplasty With CT-BasedNavigation System*Kazuo Fujiwara - Okayama University Hospital - Okayama, JapanHirosuke Endo - Okayama University Graduate School <strong>of</strong> Medicine, Dentistry, andPharmaceutical Sciences - Okayama-city, Japanfile:///E|/<strong>ISTA</strong>2010-Abstracts.htm[12/7/2011 3:15:47 PM]
