| Popis: |
The Munting stemless hip prosthesis was developed in the early eighties by Pr E. Munting and Pr A. Vincent (UCL, Brussels, Belgium). This device was designed for young and active patients to prevent the bone loss commonly associated with femoral components having intramedullary stems. Previous in-vitro experiments and clinical densitometric follow-up confirmed that it preserved physiological loading and reduced stress shielding compared to traditional hip designs. Nevertheless, some early clinical failures were reported up to 2 years after surgery and were always related to inadequate implant positioning (varus) or partial seating of the implant on the proximal bone resection. |
