Abstract:Background and Objective
Tapered fluted titanium stems (TFTS), were introduced to overcome proximal femur bone defects. They obtain stable fixation even in catastrophic proximal bone loss. Modular ones have the advantage to adjust length, rotation, off-set independently from the distal module. Short-term publications have been showing favorable outcomes burdened by an unacceptably high rate of stem failure. Still, there is a paucity of mid- and long-term reports. This narrative review aims at anal… Show more
