[First results after implantation of an individual endoprosthesis of the coxa according to aldinger.].

In the introduction of the paper the authors draw attention to the advantages of individually made total endoprostheses of the hip joint (TEP). They mention three reasons which made them implant individual TEP, as described by Aldinger, i. e. the highest percentage of dysplastic coxarthroses in their clinical material requiring an individual approach to the deformed proximal femur, failures of TEP according to Müller in dysplastic coxarthroses and finally complications when inserting some non-cemented TEP in the above indication. When evaluating the results of implantation of Aldinger's individual TEP in 50 young patients (mean age 40,5 years) after an interval of 4-30 months following operation the authors achieved in 96 % very good and good results. So far they did not record any complications after implantation of Aldinger's TEP. Key words: individual total endoprosthesis according to Aldinger, acetabulum - type Harris-Galante, acetabulum - type Zweymuller, dysplastic coxarthroses.
