[Individual endoprosthesis of the joints in fractures and bone tumors].

Experience with the treatment of 108 patients with fractures and false joints of the neck of the hip (79 observations) and bone tumors (29 observations) is described. An original method of individual endoprosthezing was used. The individual endoprosthesis was shown to give better results in some respects as compared with those obtained by usual methods, e. g. a dislocation of the endoprosthesis was practically excluded. A complete conformity of the form and size of the prosthesis improves the biomechanics of the articulation.
