Fixation of the fully hydroxyapatite-coated Corail stem implanted due to femoral neck fracture 38 patients followed for 2 years with RSA and DEXA
Background Today, dislocated femoral neck fractures are commonly treated with a cemented hip arthroplasty. However, cementing of the femoral component may lead to adverse effects and even death. Uncemented stems may lower these risks and hydroxyapatite (HA) coating may enhance integration, but prosthetic stability and clinical outcome in patients with osteoporotic bone have not been fully explored
