Total hip replacement with the "Biodirect" cementless prosthesis.
ABSTRACT: The authors discuss the biomechanical features of the 'Biodirect' cementless prosthesis, which has been used for over 6 years in the treatment of displaced femoral neck fractures. The long-term clinical and radiographic results of this study were generally favorable and seemed directly proportional to the accuracy of the implantation technique
Total hip replacement using the cementless "Bio-direct" femoral component and the "CAB 1" self-threading acetabular component.
The special characteristics of the 'Bio-direct' femoral component, which has been used in total hip replacement for approximately 7 years, are described. Although the current trend is to pair a cemented acetabular component with the Bio-direct femoral component, a new self-threading acetabulum (CAB 1) has recently been implanted in 12 patients. This new acetabular component is fully illustrated
