  • Title: Articulated prosthesis for the head of the femur in subcapital fractures of the neck of the femur.
    Author: Baccarani G, Battaglia L, Grandi A.
    Journal: Ital J Orthop Traumatol; 1980 Apr; 6(1):41-51. PubMed ID: 7203998.
    Abstract:
    The introduction of christiansen's prosthesis for the head of the femur has altered the balance between the two alternative surgical solutions for subcapital fractures of the neck of the femur (osteosynthesis and endoprosthesis). The writers report their results on the first forty-five patients treated surgically with the new prosthesis, illustrating its functional advantages as compared with the "single block" endoprosthesis. The risk of wear and tear of the acetabulum is practically abolished.
