Engh criteria were used to assess implantation of the stem on a-p radiograph. Vertical migration, presence of ossifications around the tip of the stem within medullar cavity and radiolucency in 7 Gruen zones were evaluated. The investigation revealed that vertical migration, presence of ossifications around the tip of the stem within medullar cavity and radiolucency around the stem were more frequent after implantation of stems with no microporous surface and Autophor 900 type stems. Radiolucency appeared mainly within IV and VII Gruen zone. | lld:pubmed |
