  • Title: [Medium-term results using the cement-free link endoprosthesis. Ribbed shaft V socket].
    Author: Thabe H, Wolfram U, Schill S.
    Journal: Z Orthop Ihre Grenzgeb; 1993; 131(6):568-73. PubMed ID: 8310749.
    Abstract:
    Since 3/84 340 primary implantations with the uncemented "Link" hip system (Rib-Type V socket) were done. The results with an average follow up of 3.2 years are published. Only 2.17% revision had to be suffered in the rib stem, while 0.77% socket revision had to be done. According to the score of Merle d'Aubigné the values of pain increased from 2.87% to 5.38%, walking ability from 3.68% to 5.27% and the range of motion from 133 degrees to 199 degrees. A high rate of good and satisfying results proved this anatomical implant system to be a good alternative in total hip replacement in younger patients.
