Definitions

  • An endopros'thesis for the hip joint includes a head portion, or artificial femoral head, and a substantially elbow-shaped member of polyethylene resiliently supporting said head portion.
  • the elbow-shaped member includes a relatively short upper portion and a relatively long lower portion and defines at the junction of these two portions on one side a concave bent and on the other side a convex bent. Each of both portions is provided with an internal channel.
  • One of these channels is substantially coaxial with the upper portion of said elbow-shaped member and has an entrance or opening situated at the convex bent of said elbowshaped member.
  • the other of these channels is substantially coaxial with said lower portion of said elbow-shaped member and has an entrance or opening situated at the upper portion of said elbow-shaped member.
  • the aforementioned channels intersect at an obtuse angle and each of the aforementioned channels receives one of a pair of pins or studs.
  • the upper head portion or artificial femoral head defines a slanting channel into which said upper portion of said elbowshaped member of polyethylene projects.
  • This invention relates to a femoral endoprosthesis.
