Abstract:
The study analyzes the results obtained in 50 cases of arthroprosthetic substitution surgery performed as a result of "aseptic detachment of the implant"; it involves a consecutive series of operations performed between 1979 and 1983. In all of the cases ceramic-ceramic cemented prostheses were implanted. The results, which were generally satisfactory, confirmed the excellent properties of alumina (low wear, elevated tolerance).
