title: Scintigraphic study of the biological fixation of the Christiansen endoprosthesis with madreporic shank.
abstract: Biological fixation of the Christiansen endoprosthesis takes place gradually as a result of osteogenetic activity in the endosteal wall of the femur, which is subjected to mechanical stimulation by the madreporic shank of this prosthesis. The authors were able to monitor this biological process in 9 patients with the aid of bone scintigraphy.
