Ten-year follow-up and clinical outcome of a metaphyseal anchoring short hip stem prosthesis: a retrospective single-centre analysis.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeShort stems for total hip arthroplasty are an alternative to traditional conventional long stems. Short stems are designed to facilitate minimal-invasive surgery, improve bone-stock preservation, and mimic a physiological load distribution. However, there is little evidence of the long-term outcome of short stems. This study aims to analyze the ten year survival rates and clinical outcome of one specific metaphyseal short hip stem implant.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the patient records of the patients who underwent a total hip arthroplasty with a monoblock partial collum sparing metaphyseal short hip stem prosthesis in 2008 and 2009 in our clinic. Patients were contacted, and clinical follow-up was recorded using the German version of the modified Harris Hip Score. Furthermore, complications, revision surgery, and post-operative radiographs were analyzed.
resultsData from 339 primary implantations in 322 patients were retrieved. The mean follow-up was 10.6 years. Seven patients underwent a revision. The ten year survival rate with any revision surgery as the endpoint was 97.5%. The mean modified Harris Hip Score was 86 points (range 30 to 91 points). Five patients had an intraoperative fracture of the femur (1.6%). Two patients (0.6%) had a dislocation of the hip. The stem tip-to-cortex distance, measured in the anterior posterior view, was 2.6 mm (range 0 to 8.3 mm).
conclusionThe ten year survival rate of our used monoblock partial collum sparing metaphyseal short hip stem implant is comparable to traditional stems for total hip arthroplasty.
