Popis: The following indications are well accepted for subtotal femur replacement: 1. Malignoma of the hip region. 2. Pertrochanteric fractures. 3. Loosening of hip prosthesis in case of large bony defects. The common devices are implanted by use of bone cement,--we report on three cases, treated by cementless subtotal femoral replacements with bony ingrowth surface. The surface design imitates the structure of spongious bone. The mean observation time of our three patients is more than two years, no complaints are to be observed. By intensive permeation of bone in the surface structure we achieve a more advantageous biomechanical situation.
