[A ceramic total hip endoprosthesis for implantation without bone cement. Preliminary report (author's transl)].
A new total hip endoprosthesis for implantation without bone cement is reported. This prosthesis consists of a ceramic socket and a titanium femoral component which is covered with a ceramic layer (Al2O3). The proximal end of the femoral component is shaped to a conus on which a ceramic ball for articulation with the socket is placed. Beside the construction principles the implantation technique and first clinical experiences are described.
