Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare, with regard to fixation of the implant and femoral bone resorption, two fully porous-coated stems of different stiffnesses in a canine total hip arthroplasty model. A bilateral arthroplasty was carried out with insertion of a titanium-alloy stem (which had s
