Revision of Total Hip Arthroplasties Using Short Femoral Stems: Is It Possible?
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Total hip arthroplasties (THA) is the gold standard treatment for end-stage hip osteoarthritis. The rise in primary THA incidence has led to a corresponding increase in THA revision rates. Revision surgeries are challenging and pose significant burdens on patients and on healthcare systems worldwide. The use of short stems as revision implants are considered "off-label" and the literature on this application is scarce. Our purpose is to present the results of a revision surgery using a short femoral prosthesis as well as a review of the current literature on this perspective. Case Report: A 64-year-old male patient suffered from aseptic loosening of the right THA that was revised with a type-3 short femoral prosthesis. Conclusion: Short femoral stems are a viable option for revision surgeries especially for young patients. Although there are many surgeons who would oppose to their usage in this setting, few would deny that their advantages outnumber their cons.
