Abstract
The acetabular socket "Model Gersthof" is a spheric polyethylene component which can be anchored cement-free by means of three symmetrically arranged pegs at the outside. Between July 1979 and October 1986, 1316 implants of cement-free sockets were performed at our own department. The evaluation of the socket was based on the criterium of radiological instability (= aseptic loosening). After five years of observation, this design-oriented evaluation of success shows a survival of 92% +/- 2.9%.Keywords
