Diferences in 3D Gait Analysis After Various Types of Total Hip Arthroplasty

Comparative 3D Gait Analysis: Impact of Total Hip Arthroplasty Stem Anchoring (Metadiaphyseal vs Metaphyseal)

Patients with hip osteoarthritis who were indicated for total hip arthroplasty were prospectively enrolled and randomized to receive either a short (metaphyseal) stem or a conventional (metadiaphyseal) stem hip arthroplasty. Three-dimensional gait analysis was performed regularly (preoperatively and at multiple postoperative time points) to determine whether conservative implants result in superior objective and patient-reported outcomes

Inclusion Criteria:
