Abstract
The first double tapered, polished, collarless, straight femoral stem for cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) to be used in clinical practice was the Exeter stem, designed in 1969 by Robin Ling and Clive Lee, in Exeter, UK. It has been in use in clinical practice since 1970 and excellent long-term results up to 33 years are now available. The Exeter is currently the most commonly used cemented stem, not only in the UK, but worldwide. © 2005 Springer Medizin Verlag Heidelberg.
