Abstract
Femoral canal preparation in cementless total hip arthroplasty requires either broaching or milling of the proximal femur to create an osseous envelope for component implantation. The purpose of this article is to discuss the merits of milling the proximal femur for implant placement in primary or revision total hip arthroplasty.
