[A modified sledge prosthesis for placing on the cortical bone surface (author's transl)].
Abstract
A new sledge prosthesis is described here. The height of the femoral component as well as of the tibial plateau are diminished in comparison to other models. It seems more safe to place this type of prosthesis on the cortical bone surface than into the spongiosa parts where loosening is more probable. The stems of both components have been designed accordingly. The technique of operation and the indication are described in detail.
