Summary

Alumina particles from the grit blasting of Ti-alloy stems for hip arthroplasty are suspected to contribute to aseptic loosening. An alumina-reduced stem surface was hypothesized to improve osseointegration and show comparable short-term outcomes to those of a standard stem.

TypeNameDescription
DEVICESL-PLUS-Stem for total hip arthroplastyPatients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty are randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either an uncemented NT-SL-PLUS Stem (Smith\&Nephew Orthopaedics AG, Aarau, Switzerland) or a matching uncemented STD-SL-PLUS stem (Smith\&Nephew Orthopaedics AG, Aarau, Switzerland) in a blinded fashion.
