ABSTRACT:
A hip prosthesis includes a shaft which can be inserted into a hole in the femur without using cement. The proximal section of the shaft includes a base body having a form that is complementary to the shape of the hole in the femur into which the shaft is to be inserted. The hole is made using a tool of a shape corresponding to the base body. The base body has a cuneus rib raised on its dorsal or ventral surface that has a width in its center that is at least three times its height. The rear surface of the cuneus rib has rough and abrasive properties.
