Is it reasonable to shorten the length of cemented stems? A finite element analysis and biomechanical experiment

Background: Uncemented short stems have been shown to optimize load distribution on the proximal femur, reducing stress shielding and preserving bone mass. However, they may adversely affect the initial stability of the stems. To date, most research conducted on short stems has predominantly centere...
