The stem-bone contact patterns of a long straight-tapered uncemented stem are related to preoperative femoral morphology, but do not influence short-term postoperative outcomes. Contact patterns were related to preoperative femoral offset, NSA, and sagittal CFI, but not coronal CFI. Surgeons should, therefore, consider sagittal morphology for surgical planning and templating, in addition to the conventional parameters of coronal morphology.
