Title: [Analysis and results of total hip replacement with femoral cortical fixation].
Abstract: The present report describes an original conception of a total hip prosthesis. The implant is applied upon the lateral cortical of the shaft of the femur. The implant is screwed on by the mean of a plate. There is no adjunction of cement. The design tries to reach as close a possible the natural physiology of a long bone during life. The purpose is to gain a better longevity of the implant and, consequently, its utilisation to young patients for whom a total hip prosthesis is the only solution.
