• XX, YY and ZZ (Ref 1, published XXX) in a retrospective Level-IV
case series, reported on the use of 50 stems in 43 patients (mean
age 58 years) during primary and revision procedures. The mean
follow-up was 12.5 years. The outcomes were encouraging with a
mean Harris hip score of 87 points reported during the most
recent follow-up and 25 patients (75%) showing mild or no pain.
There was 1 revision post-op. They concluded that the femoral
component provided excellent long-term results at 10 to 14 years.
