title: A new self-threading acetabulum (CAB 1) in total hip replacement.
abstract: After several disappointing experiences related to the positioning of self-threading acetabulae, a new model is presented. This consists of a Titanium conical external ring and a conical insert in Biolox bioceramic. The design of the threading produces considerable stability of implantation.
