These studies did not show a satisfactory overall survival rate
Background and purpose The aim of short-stem total hip arthroplasty is to preserve proximal bone stock for future revisions , to improve biomechanical reconstruction , and to make minimally invasive approaches easier .
It is therefore being increasingly considered to be a sound alternative to conventional total hip arthroplasty , especially for young and active patients .
However , it is still unknown whether survival rates of short-stem  hips match current st and ards .
We made a systematic summary of reported overall survival after short-stem total hip arthroplasty .
Leg length discrepancy, dislocation rate, and offset in total hip replacement using a short modular stem: navigation vs conventional freehand.
We present a match-paired study between computer-assisted and freeh and techniques using a short modular femoral stem ( Metha ; B. Braun Aesculap , Tuttlingen , Germany ) in  total hip replacement ( THR ) .  Surgical time , clinical outcome , dislocation rate , limb length , and offset in 44 patients with ideal indication for this more conservative implant were assessed . Despite both longer surgical time and similar early outcomes , the results showed how computer-assisted techniques allow easier management of limb length discrepancy and offset restoring . We believe that navigated short modular stems are safe for less invasive THR
