title: [Long-term observation after implantation of a carbon fiber-reinforced carbon hip joint endoprosthesis in foxhounds (author's transl)].
abstract: A hip-joint endoprosthesis, comprising a carbon fiber-reinforced stem, aluminum oxide head, and polyethylene acetabular cup, was studied in vivo trials in ten foxhounds after implantation with bone cement. Observations over 6 months and 1 year demonstrated that carbon fiber-reinforced carbon exhibits adequate strength for use as a stem material under the observed conditions.
