[A sandwich-type hip joint socket with a ceramic lining].
The authors present a new type of sandwich socket with ceramic lining. Mechanical tests provide evidence that the submitted implant is very firm. It is a basic prototype from which cemented and non-cemented sockets of the hip joint will be derived. The authors use a 28 mm socket paired with a 28 mm head and 12/14 conus and 14/16 Euroconus. This means that the submitted socket is compatible with all types of cemented and non-cemented endoprostheses.
