    Standard hip prostheses have limited offset sizes, failing to accommodate anatomical variations. Custom hip stems may better match individual femoral dimensions for improved patient outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Biomedical engineering
    • Human anatomy

    Background:

    • Hip prostheses aim to restore hip joint function and offset.
    • Current prostheses offer limited offset sizes (35-45mm), based on population means (43.0mm).
    • Proximal femoral geometry, including offset, exhibits significant variability due to genetic and environmental factors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate if current off-the-shelf hip prosthesis offset sizes are adequate for diverse patient anatomy.
    • To investigate the range of femoral offset variability in a Northern Ireland population sample.
    • To determine the potential benefits of custom hip stems for precise anatomical matching.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of proximal femoral geometry data from a Northern Ireland sample.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Comparison of observed anatomical offset ranges with available standard prosthesis sizes.
  • Literature review on factors influencing femoral geometry and prosthesis design.

    • Main Results:

    • The study found significant variability in femoral offset within the studied population.
    • The range of anatomical offset exceeded the sizes offered by standard hip prostheses.
    • Existing offset options may not adequately address the extremes of patient anatomy.

    Conclusions:

    • Off-the-shelf hip prostheses with limited offset sizes are insufficient for all patients.
    • Custom hip stems offer a potential solution for better matching of individual femoral dimensions.
    • Personalized implant design may improve functional outcomes in hip replacement surgery.
