Abstract
We investigated the effects of varus-valgus alignment on the long-term outcomes after cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a porous coated version of Bi-Metric<sup>®</sup> femoral stems. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed in 71 hips. The survival rate with femoral revision for aseptic loosening as the end point was 100% at 17 years. Nevertheless, the initial stem alignment was more valgus in patients with the Engh grade III-IV stress shielding than patients with the Engh grade I-II. Our results suggest that valgus misalignment of cementless Bi-Metric stem might be a potential risk factor for the progression of stress shielding.
