Total hip #arthroplasty includes a femoral component (the stem) and an acetabular component (the socket or cup). Femoral stems can be made of cobalt–chromium or titanium alloys, whereas acetabular components can be made of either titanium or polyethylene. Different modern stems for hip arthroplasty: (a) single-wedge femoral stem; (b) double-wedge or metaphyseal-filling design; (c) rounded conical designs grit-blasted across its length; (d) rounded conical designs characterized by a rectangular, tapered, conical stem; (e) conical tapered design with longitudinally raised splines which provide rotational stability; (f) collarless three-plane tapered design characterized by a 3-D wedge-shaped taper; (g) Exeter stem with distal centralizer used to facilitate subsidence; (h) coated design with an ingrowth surface; (i) modular designs; (j) curved, anatomic stems that match the proximal femoral endosteal geometry; (k) short femoral stems, also named metaphyseal stems; (l) Müller prosthesis design; (m) A.n.C.A. prosthesis design; (n CLU prosthesis design. . .
