Abstract
The paper provides some experience with hip joint endoprosthesis with Poldi and Beznoska implants, Czechia, used in 210 patients (235 operations). Total and cervicocapital endoprostheses were implanted in 193 and 42 cases, respectively. The indications for total and unipolar joint replacement were severe Stage III coxarthrosis, aseptic necrosis of the head of the femur, pseudoarthrosis of its neck, subcapital fractures with severe limb dysfunctions and persistent pains. Positive results (complete recovery of joint movements and limb load) were noted in 93% of patients in the follow-up periods of 6 months to 18 years. The complications were seen as follows: wound suppuration in 4 patients, aseptic instability in 4 (they all were reoperated), relaxation of a total implant and partial protrusion of the head of a unipolar implant in 6 patients.
