ABSTRACT Objective: This research sought to carry out a comparative study observing the clinical and radiographic analysis of primary prostheses of the type TC3 Depuy Johnson® with or without a stem during a short-term follow-up. Methods: The sample was divided into three groups: Group 1 (with stem), Group 2 (without stem) and Group 3 (mixed). Patients were evaluated to assess whether the implants were loosening and a clinical analysis was performed. Results: Preoperative deformities were predominantly considered severe. The total range of motion in the postoperative period was above 96.7° in the three groups. In the postoperative period, the femoral-tibial angle oscillated on average between 5 to 6° valgus. There was no record of implant loosening for cases treated with stem, and the incidence of loosening was 14.3% for the group without stem and 16.7% among cases in the mixed group. Conclusion: In general, preoperative deformities were considered severe. In the postoperative period, the total range of motion was above 96.7°. The postoperative femoral-tibial angle obtained an average of 5 to 6° valgus. There is no significant difference in implants loosening in the three groups. Level of Evidence III, Retrospective Comparative Study.
