SS is common in patients with cementless implants after RSA, especially in female and elderly patients. It can be limited by implanting stems with a low diaphyseal filling-ratio, in correct coronal alignment. Risk factors for polyethylene debris, primarily scapular notching, should be avoided. The authors found no clinical consequences of stress shielding, but longer-term follow-up studies are required to confirm these findings.
