Abstract
Two hundred seventy-one patients (297 primary total hip arthroplasties ) were evaluated for thigh pain 2 years after surgery. All femoral com ponents were identical in wedge-shaped geometry but differed in size. All components were radiographically stable. Regression analysis revea led the presence of thigh pain to be directly correlated to increasing stem size (P = .014, r = .857). An even more component moments for in ertia for bending in the mediolateral plane. Femoral stem size has a s ignificant effect on the incidence of thigh pain.
