Short-term outcomes with routine use of size ≥40 femoral heads in THA: A retrospective cohort study

Using larger femoral heads during total hip arthroplasty (THA) may result in a more stable hip. Greater volumetric wear and frictional torque, however, may result in increased postoperative complications. The purpose of this study was to compare outcomes of patients with femoral head size ≥40 mm com...

Zusammenfassung:Using larger femoral heads during total hip arthroplasty (THA) may result in a more stable hip. Greater volumetric wear and frictional torque, however, may result in increased postoperative complications. The purpose of this study was to compare outcomes of patients with femoral head size ≥40 mm compared to those with femoral head size
