Clinical Outcome “The 1990-2000 results for Lubinus SP do not significantly differ from the 1979-1989 cohort after 10 years.

Calcar collar avoids subsidence of the stem The anatomic stem shape promotes an uniform cement mantle around the whole stem within the medullary canal. Straight stems produce stress risers in the anatomically S-shaped medullar canal S-shaped stems result in even stress distribution Photoelastic study of stresses Stress-load analysis proves that the true adaption to the femur of the LINK anatomically shaped hip stems result in a more natural stress distribution, eliminating the harmful pinpoint stress concentrations at the bone (cement)/implant interface.6 6 Langhans et al. (1992). Der...
