Since it is possible to achieve durable anchorage of implants in bone and to effectively treat loss of function and pain of the hip joint, this operation belongs to the most successful in our times.Therefore, a differentiated technology has developed that encompasses modern implant materials, biomechanical knowledge, and surgical techniques. Current standards in this procedure are demonstrated.
