title: [A hip prosthesis with a non-rigid femoral implant. The Butel iso-elastic prosthesis].
abstract: A new type of femoral prosthesis is described by the authors. This non-rigid implant respects the natural elasticity of bone and, because of this, avoids excessive stress protection of the bone. In addition, bone atrophy caused by rigid components and osteolysis provoked by cement are eliminated. Experimental studies and the clinical and radiological results five years after insertion seem to confirm the value of this concept.
