title: [Total hip joint endoprosthesis in osteopetrosis].
abstract: Albers-Schönberg disease (osteopetrosis) is a rare condition, and it very seldom occurs that a patient requiring a hip endoprosthesis is also suffering from this disease. The report describes the difficulties which may confront a surgeon unprepared for such a case and the author illustrates the problem taking the case history of a 46-year-old patient with X-rays and histological tests as an example. The reasons for implantation of either a cemented or cementless endoprosthesis are discussed.
