Title: [Our experience with the Monk-"soft-top"-endoprosthesis (author's transl)]. Author: Osterwalder M. Journal: Z Orthop Ihre Grenzgeb; 1981 Oct; 119(5):512-5. PubMed ID: 7314825.

Our results are satisfying, no severe complications due to the high density polyethylene debris were encountered and no protrusions of the acetabulum either.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
