A modular femoral implant for uncemented stem revision in THR.

We present the early results of 142 uncemented femoral stem revisions using the modular MRP-Titan system. There were 70 cases with marked preoperative femoral bone defects (Paprosky type 2C and type 3); and bone grafts were used in 31 cases. At a mean follow-up of 2.

[Possibilities for rehabilitation in spinal injuries with or without neurological deficit].

Generally spine injured persons without neurological deficits can--as long as the principles of industrial medicine are observed--be occupationally integrated without any particular rehabilitation measures within the limits of their remaining capacity. Spine injured persons, however, with remaining instabilities, serious static deficiencies and/or neurological deficits need further rehabilitation after their in-patient and immediate posthospital treatment. Spinal cord injured patients usually have to accept serious changes and limitation in all spheres of life.

[Interchangeability of the ceramic ball heads of various endoprosthesis systems. Technical report].

Today, the type of hip joint prosthesis implanted is usually chosen on the basis of the patient's age and anatomic conditions, and in particular depending on whether it is a first or second hip replacement. Not infrequently, it is desirable or necessary to combine different prosthesis systems, especially when changing prostheses. In many cases this is possible.

[Late results of subcapital linear osteotomy in epiphysiolysis capitis femoris juvenilis (author's transl)].

107 patients with separation of the head of the femoral epiphysis were treated surgically at the Marburg Orthopaedic University Hospital during the 1955--1975 period. Followup examinations were performed in 69 patients. 34 of these had been subjected to subcapital linear osteotomy.
