[Personal experience with non-cemented femoral components in the Schenker total hip prosthesis]

Based on seven-year experience with non-cemented femoral components of total endoprostheses of the hip joint, type Schenker, the authors assume that their use is limited only to a small group of patients under 40 years of age, provided strict principles as regards precision of implantation are respected. The latter are discussed in the submitted paper.
