ABSTRACT:
An implant for coxofemoral prosthesis comprises a slightly conical approximately straight tail that is to be engaged in the medullary cavity of the femur and a body carrying the lug or neck of a ball-and-socket joint, the body being connected to the tail by an upper part or head formed by at least one inclined projection intended to be applied against the surface of the femur cut after its resection at the level of the large trochanter. The implant is characterized in that the projection predominates over the anterior and posterior faces of the tail, and is greatly inclined from the side of the internal cortical wall to constitute a sliding shoe, allowing automatic placing of the implant on the inside the medullary canal.
