Objectives: Aseptic loosening represents one of the most common reasons for failure of cementless stems. EBRA-FCA allows the determination of stem migration, which is considered a predictive factor for implant survival. The current study aims to present the migration behavior of a tapered proximally anchored straight stem.

Methods: This retrospective study reviewed all consecutive patients who received a cementless CBC straight stem (Mathys AG, Bettlach, Switzerland) between 2005 and 2019. We analyzed the migration pattern by using EBRA-FCA software and reviewed medical histories. In addition, periprosthetic radiolucency was rated according to the zones of Gruen and femoral configuration according to Dorr.

Results and conclusion: A total of 333 stems in 332 patients (female 191; male 141) fulfilled our inclusion criteria. Mean age at surgery was 63.1 (range 20.8–87.4) years. EBRA-FCA migration analysis showed a mean subsidence of 1.6 mm at final follow-up of 96 months with a maximum noted mean subsidence of 2.0 mm at 72 and 84 months. Dorr type A showed a tendency to lower subsidence then Dorr type B with being statistically significant at 6 (p=0.0396) and 72 months (p=0.0127). No correlation between body mass index and increased subsidence was found (p > 0.05). For this cohort, the overall femoral revision-free rate was 95.2% and the revision-free rate for aseptic loosening was 99.1%.

The results show an in cementless stems established migration behavior with initial increased migration and subsequent secondary stabilization, suggesting an excellent long-term outcome. Stem migration of this tapered proximally anchored stem might be lower in Dorr type A than in Dorr type B femurs without being statistically significant at all time points.
