Abstract
Forty-four cases of non-cemented hip prosthesis in 41 patients with femoral neck fracture, 2 patients with osteoarthritis and 1 patient with avascular necrosis were analysed with parficular reference to roentgenographic findings more than three years after surgery. The mean age at surgery was 70.3 years, and they were followed up for an average of 54 months.Results revealed that 71% of Bateman narrow stem type, 12% of modified type and 10% of OMNIFIT showed unfixed prosthesis. This result suggests that prosthesis occuping much of the medulla shoud be used for the surgery.
