Abstract
The ESKA femoral neck prosthesis introduces a new metaphyseal anchorag e principle for total hip replacements. Primary stability of the conic al-oval shaped implant is achieved through the use of a lateral tracti on screw, and permanent stability through bony growth into the macropo rous TRIPO metal structure. The system is used in combination with the standard ESKA acetabulum, and metal-polyethylene, ceramic-polyethylen e, ceramic-ceramic and metal-metal articulations are all possible.
