- Ortopedická klinika 1. lékarské fakulty KU, Praha.
The authors discuss indications and application of non-cemented prostheses of the hip joint, type Walter-Motorlet. In the first part they give a detailed description of the implant and its range of sizes. Next they deal with possible indications and contraindications of non-cemented prostheses of this type. The above implant is used above all in biologically young patients. It has substantial advantages in dysplastic acetabula and in protrusions. Favourable results are obtained also in rheumatoid arthritis. Metabolic bone diseases which do not make it possible to create a satisfactory secondary fixation are a basic contraindication. The authors discuss the surgical technique, incl. possible complications and their solution, postoperative care and rehabilitation. Key words: cementless total hip replacement Walter--Motorlet, indication, surgical technique, complications, rehabilitation.
