[Morphometry of the femoral head in the rabbit. Surface appearance of the acetabulum after femoral prosthesis].
An anatomical study has been achieved on 42 upper extremities of adult rabbit's thigh bones. Three types of prostheses have been perfected in order to analyse the reactions of the cartilage and of the subchondral bone when confronted with these implants. The animals were sacrificed at different intervals. The state of the acetabulum surface has been studied according to macroscopic and microscopic criteria. Three methods converge and agree in showing an arthrosis type of reaction with regard to the non operated controlateral articulation.
