The Preserve stem is a modified Zweymüller femoral stem that omits the trochanteric wing. Omission of the trochanteric wing of the prosthesis might influence its rotational stability, but, there are no reports about the rotational stability of a modified Zweymüller femoral stem. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the trochanteric wing on rotational stability by comparing the modified Zweymüller femoral stem and the original Zweymüller femoral stem. Computed tomography of the right femur was used to construct a resin model of the proximal femur. Three types of uncemented stems were used in this study: Preserve α, β, and exemplary Zweymüller stem. Preserve β is a modified Zweymüller-type of stem with a reduced trochanteric wing. Preserve α is also a Zweymüller-type of stem with a further reduced trochanteric wing. The resin bone model was mounted on a universal testing machine. The stem was inserted into the bone model manually and loaded vertically up to 600 N. Then the stem was rotated posteriorly by 1°/sec until angular rotation was achieved to 5°. The torque at 5° was compared among the three stems. Vertical displacement of the stem during rotation testing was also recorded as a correlative measure for prosthetic subsidence. The results showed that the mean torque at 5° was not significantly different among the Preserve α, β, and exemplary Zweymüller stem (Tukey-Kramer test). Furthermore, the mean vertical displacement amounts during rotation testing were not significantly different among the three stems (Tukey-Kramer test). This study indicate that the Preserve α and β, modified Zweymüller stems, are rotationally as stable as the exemplary Zweymüller stem.
