Corail Stem Outcomes

The Corail Fully Hydroxyapatite-Coated Stem: Long-Term Follow-up

Authors
Vidalain JP
Journal
J Bone Joint Surg Br
Year
2011

Key Findings

  • 1

    Excellent 20-year survival (>95%)

  • 2

    Full HA coating provides reliable fixation

  • 3

    Bone remodeling around stem predictable

  • 4

    Suitable for wide range of bone morphology

  • 5

    One of most studied uncemented stems

Clinical Implications

The Corail stem has established itself as a benchmark for uncemented femoral fixation with extensive long-term data. Its design principles inform modern stem development.

Teaching Note

The Corail is often used as an example of successful uncemented fixation. Know: full HA coating, collarless design, metaphyseal loading. Compare to other philosophies (tapered wedge, fully porous coated). Reference AOANJRR for Australian outcomes.
