The personalized hip prosthesis.
The authors discuss the general concept, method of use and first clinical results obtained with a "personalized" femoral component of a hip arthroprosthesis based on the computer-graphic processing of measurements obtained from radiography and CT scan. This prosthesis is considered to be innovative as compared to traditional cementless prostheses.
