Measurements from anteroposterior radiographs comparing the stem-shaft angle (SSA) to the preoperative neck-shaft angle (NSA) demonstrate a gradual improvement in the learning curve for femoral component positioning during the surgeons first 100 patients. Over 9% of femoral components were still placed in relative varus after the surgeons’ first 100 procedures.
