Very early migration of a calcar-guided short stem: a randomized study of early mobilization and the influence of a calcium phosphate coating with 60 patients
Beschreibung:
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>This study analyzed the migration of a calcar-guided short stem to determine the course of very early migration, as well as evaluated the effect of an additional calcium phosphate (CP) coating on a titanium plasma spray (TPS) coating, which has not been analyzed previously. Sixty patients were enrolled in this study and were treated with the A2 calcar-guided short stem. The implant coating was randomized with either the TPS or an additional CP coating, and radiostereometric analysis was performed with the baseline measurement before initial weight-bearing, along with follow-up examinations at 1 week, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months. Implant migrations were 0.27 mm (standard deviation [SD], 0.13 mm) and 0.74 mm (SD, 1.11 mm) at 1 week and 6 months post-surgery, respectively, and 65% and 87% of the implants reached their final position 1 week and 6 weeks after surgery, respectively. After 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months, a significant increase was noted in the migration of the CP coating group vs. that of the TPS coating group. Upon the final observation at 6 months, the groups displayed on average a 0.74-mm migration. Most of the analyzed implants ceased migration within the first week post-surgery, but the CP coating demonstrated a higher and more prolonged migration compared to the TPS coating.</jats:p>
