Core Tip Short stems, because of their reduced size, could be applied for post-traumatic obliteration of the femoral canal, when it is difficult to apply a standard stem; moreover, in revision procedures for patients with serious comorbidity, the use of a short stem could reduce the surgical risks to femoral osteotomy, which are necessary for the removal of parts of the implant or acrylic cement from the medullary canal. The availability of cemented short stems could help surgeons, in cases where there is a lack or reduced quality of bone, to treat particular prosthetic revisions, limiting surgical invasiveness and the use of long stems.
