title: [Indications and possibilities of total prosthesis of the hip].
abstract: If all the non-traumatic coxopathies are considered, it can be said that there is practically no limit to the possibilities of operations for total prostheses fo the hip. In particular, all the technical problems posed by certain forms of coxopathy can be solved. Only grave deterioration in the general condition of the patient and non-tubercular infections constitute contra-indications. This is, of course, not new and is valid for all orthopaedic surgery. Only the future will show if this concept is true.
