Abstract Introduction  Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a disabling condition that often results in secondary arthritis necessitating total hip arthroplasty (THA). Short-stem THA has constantly gained popularity. It remains controversial, whether ONFH represents a risk factor for failure after the implantation of short stems with pronounced metaphyseal anchorage. The potential spread of the osteonecrotic area and bone marrow edema into the metaphyseal bone might result in compromised stability. Early implant migration is considered predictive of subsequent aseptic loosening. The purpose of this study was a migration analysis of a modern, calcar-guided short-stem implant in patients with ONFH in a mid-term follow-up. Materials and methods  This retrospective analysis investigated the migration pattern of 45 calcar-guided short stems in patients with ONFH, using Einzel-Bild-Roentgen-Analyse Femoral-Component-Analysis (EBRA-FCA). Influencing factors such as ARCO categories, age, gender, body weight and BMI were analyzed. Complications and adverse events were documented. Results  At mid-term [48.1 months (SD 20.7 months)], mean axial migration was 1.56 mm (SD 1.77 mm). Mean migration rate stabilized after 2 years. No influence of ARCO categories, age and BMI was found. A tendency of increased axial migration was observed in male patients and in overweight patients. No revision surgeries had to be performed during follow-up. Conclusion  The results indicate a migration pattern comparable to that of primary osteoarthritis patients with slight initial migration under full load followed by subsequent stabilization in the metaphyseal femur. The 100% survival rate at mid-term supports the usage of this short-stem design in patients with ONFH.
