Clinical application of different femoral stem
1. Titanium Powder-Coated Femoral Stem:
- Advantages:
- Titanium powder-coated femoral stems exhibit excellent biocompatibility, promoting bone ingrowth and enhancing fixation strength, thereby increasing long-term stability.
- These stems are often preferred for younger, more active patients due to their enhanced fixation and durability.
- Disadvantages:
- Manufacturing titanium powder-coated femoral stems can be costly, potentially increasing surgical expenses.
- Initial stability may not be as robust as fully polished cemented stems due to the time required for bone ingrowth.
2. Fully Polished Cemented Femoral Stem:
- Advantages:
- Fully polished cemented femoral stems offer immediate stability, making them suitable for elderly patients or those with osteoporotic bone.
- They are relatively cost-effective, helping to reduce surgical costs.
- Disadvantages:

- Cemented stems may loosen over time, especially in younger, more active patients.
- Biocompatibility may be inferior to titanium powder-coated stems, potentially leading to bone resorption or soft tissue reactions around the cement.
3. Different Eccentricities:
- Eccentricity refers to the distance between the femoral stem and the acetabulum, with different eccentricities suitable for different patient types.
- Larger eccentricities provide a greater lever arm, reducing stress on the acetabulum, making them suitable for patients with weaker muscle strength or those requiring additional stability.
- Smaller eccentricities offer better kinematic performance, suitable for highly active patients who require a more natural hip joint motion.
In selecting femoral stems, orthopedic surgeons should consider factors such as patient age, activity level, bone quality, and surgical goals. This comprehensive approach ensures the selection of the most appropriate femoral stem for each patient, thereby maximizing surgical success and postoperative recovery.
