No difference in gait pattern between a short collum femoris-preserving and a conventional stem: 44 randomised total hip arthroplasty patients stem evaluated after 2 years.

Use of a CFP stem did not significantly influence any of the gait parameters studied when compared to a standard stem, but still both stems studied were associated with gait deviations when compared to controls. Whether these differences could be attributed to the stem used, the underlying hip disease, or both is still unknown.
