BUTTARO, Martín et al. Reemplazo total de cadera con un tallo corto no cementado tipo 2B: resultados a los 2-5 años de seguimiento. Rev. Asoc. Argent. Ortop. Traumatol. [online]. 2019, vol.84, n.2, pp.112-121. ISSN 1852-7434.

Objective: We aimed to determine 2- to 5-year survivorship rate, intraoperative fractures, subsidence and thigh pain rate in a consecutive, independent, one-surgeon series of surgical patients in whom a type 2B short stem was implanted. Methods: We reviewed the first 100 type 2B consecutive femoral short stems implanted in 84 patients with a mean age of 47 years old. Indications included age younger than 55 years (85 hips), or participation in impact sports in patients aging 56 to 60 years old (15 hips). Initial diagnosis was osteoarthritis in 82% of the cases. Median follow-up was 42 months. Results: Stem survivorship rate was 99% at 2 to 5 years followed by stem revision for any aseptic reason, and 98% when infection played a part. Mean Harris Hip Score improved significantly from 55 to 96 at final follow-up (p 0.02). There was one lateral cortex perforation, and three intra-operative calcar partial fractures (3%), only one of them required cerclage wiring and delayed weight-bearing. No patient referred thigh pain at final follow-up. Only one case subsided 4 mm, but then stabilized. The risk of revision was 1% after 2 to 5 years (95%CI 93.1-99.8%). Conclusions: We obtained promising short-term results with this device in this single-surgeon, non-consecutive series -including the learning curve period- using a type 2B short stem in young active patients-, in which bone preservation is warranted.
