Prospective evaluation of clinical and radiographic 10-year results of Fitmore short-stem total hip arthroplasty.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundShort stems were introduced into total hip arthroplasty (THA) to preserve bone stock, to transmit more load to the proximal femur, and to enable minimal invasive approaches. This study is the first long-term study (with a follow-up of 10 years) of the survival as well as the clinical and radiographic outcomes of the Fitmore hip stem, a short curved uncemented stem.
methodsIn total, 123 Fitmore hip stems were prospectively evaluated. At the final 10-year follow-up, 80 Fitmore stems (78 patients: 30 female, 48 male) were eligible for evaluation. Clinical parameters were thigh pain, EQ-5D, Harris Hip Score (HHS) and Oxford Hip Score. Radiographic parameters were cortical hypertrophy (CH), bone condensation, cortical thinning, radiolucency, reactive lines, calcar rounding, calcar resorption, subsidence and varus/valgus position.
resultsAfter 10 years, there was a survival rate of 99% (1 revision because of aseptic stem loosening). HHS had improved from 59 to 94 and Oxford Hip Score from 22 to 43. CH rate after 1 year was 69% and after 10 years 74%. In the first year, radiolucency was found in 58% and in 17.5% after 10 years. Subsidence after 1 year was 1.6 ± 1.6 mm and 5.0 ± 3.1 mm after 10 years.
conclusionsThe Fitmore hip stem showed a survival rate of 99% as well as good clinical and radiographic outcomes in the long-term follow-up of 10 years.
