Short stem prostheses have been developed to preserve proximal femoral bone stock. This prospective, randomized study compared periprosthetic bone remodelling following short and straight stem implantation 1 year after surgery.One hundred and forty-four consecutive patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty were randomized to either a Fitmore short or a cementless straight stem (both Zimmer, Winterthur, Switzerland). Periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry performed the day before surgery and at 7 days, 3 months and 1 year postoperatively. Furthermore, the HHS and the WOMAC were obtained.One hundred and thirty-eight patients completed 1-year follow-up. Periprosthetic BMD changes at 1 year were most pronounced in the proximal medial region of interest (ROI) 7 with -17.2
