Uncemented total prosthetics as exemplified by a carbon-fiber prosthesis of the hip joint

A new artificial total hip joint was designed and tested in animals and human patients up to five years. For implant combined carbon material (Endocarbone) was used. The primary anchorage was achieved by a hydraulic pin system without bone cement. The follow-up of bone growth at the implant bone border line was proved by X-ray, computer-tomography, arthrography and histo-morphological tissues. The Endocarbone hip prosthesis has been proved as a biological implant. The good bonely incorporation justifies a more intensive clinical testing.
