    A novel stemless femoral prosthesis preserves bone stress by transmitting hip forces directly to the femoral neck. This innovative design aims to maintain natural load distribution in the proximal femur.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Biomedical engineering
    • Bone biomechanics

    Background:

    • Conventional femoral prostheses can alter natural stress distribution in the proximal femur.
    • Maintaining physiological load is crucial for long-term bone health and implant integration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel stemless femoral prosthesis designed to preserve physiological stress distribution.
    • To describe the unique mechanism of force transmission and surgical technique for this new implant.

    Main Methods:

    • Detailed description of the stemless femoral prosthesis design, focusing on the thrust plate mechanism.
    • Explanation of the surgical instruments and technique for implantation.
    • Initial clinical application in 3 patients.

    Main Results:

    • The stemless prosthesis directly transmits hip joint forces to the cortical bone of the resected femoral neck.
    • This direct transmission aims to maintain physiological stress at the proximal femur.

    Conclusions:

    • A new stemless femoral prosthesis offers a potential alternative to conventional designs.
    • The prosthesis's design may facilitate more natural stress distribution in the proximal femur, potentially improving outcomes.
