Influence of broach surface design of a fully hydroxyapatite coated, double tapered stem on periprosthetic bone mineral density after total hip arthroplasty: a study based on the morphology of the proximal femur.

This study suggests that the broach surface design of fully hydroxyapatite coated stems may influence periprosthetic BMD changes, especially in Dorr type A and B femurs. Surgeons should consider broach selection based on patient-specific femoral morphology to optimize BMD preservation in THA procedures using fully hydroxyapatite coated stems.
