Distal Femoral Cortical Hypertrophy after Hip Arthroplasty Using a Cementless Double-Tapered Femoral Stem

The incidence of DFCH in hips withthe Accolade TMZF stem was 6.2%. Patients with a higher canal flare index and younger age had a higher incidence of DFCH. Nonetheless, DFCH did not affect clinical outcome or femoral stem stability.
