Accurate femoral prosthesis press-fit is essential for successful cementless total hip arthroplasty (cTHA) and dependent upon proximal femur size and geometry. Study objectives were to determine the variability of proximal femur size and geometry in primary cTHA patients and correlate them with patient demographics and body mass index (BMI). Methods: Medical records of 127 consecutive primary cTHA patients were reviewed retrospectively. The demographic (ethnicity, sex, age) and BMI data were collected. Intertrochanteric (IT) distance, inner/outer proximal femur diameters and cortical thickness for the subtrochanteric (ST) and cortical diaphyseal (DP) regions were measured from anteroposterior radiographs. Descriptive statistics were used to correlate patient demographics and BMI with radiographic measurements. Results: The study included 96 cTHA patients (mean age 60 years, range 22-91 years; 34 females; 72 Caucasian, 18 Black, and six Hispanic) with four underweight; 13 normal; 34 overweight, and 45 obese BMI. No correlation existed for patient age or race with radiographic measurements. Males had significantly larger proximal femur dimensions and cortical thickness than females. No BMI correlations existed for IT distance; BMI was directly proportional to outer diameter and cortical thickness in ST and DP regions, and inversely proportional to inner diameter in these regions. Discussion: Greater proximal femur size appears to correlate with gender, but not with age or race. Larger subtrochanteric and diaphyseal outer diameters are significantly associated with higher BMI. A trend exists for larger subtrochanteric and diaphyseal inner diameters to be associated with lower BMI. These findings may have implications for optimal cTHA femoral component design.
