ABSTRACT:
A method for controlling the mutual angle between the parts of an artificial hip joint during an operation for insertion of the artificial hip joint, is described. The stem of the femoral hip prosthesis is fastened permanently or removable in the usual manner in the proximal end of the femur. A tool for controlling of the mutual angle between the stem of the prosthesis and the cup of the prosthesis is fastened to the stem. The femur of the patient is then oriented in a predefined position and the cup is then brought into its intended position by means of the femur of the patient and the mentioned tool. A tool for controlling the mutual angle between the parts of the artificial hip joint is also described.
