HIP PROSTHESIS PROVIDED WITH A SHAFT INSERTED INTO THE FEMUR

摘要

The invention relates to a hip prosthesis provided with a shaft (1) which can be inserted into a hole in the femur without using cement. The proximal section of the shaft is made up of a base body and the form thereof corresponds to the complementary form of the hole which is to be formed in the bone by means of a corresponding tool. A cuneus rib (12) is raised on the dorsal or ventral side of the base body and the width in the centre thereof is at least three times greater than the height thereof. The rear surface thereof (13) has rough and abrasive properties.
