Abstract
While the principle of enlarging the surface area has been recognized and used in different ways for some time, there is often no schematic, detailed description or fundamental research. Taking a surface structure consisting of trabecular three-dimensional connecting elements, essential parameters are shown, making it clear that the flexible dynamic reaction of the effective 'anchoring space' with a suitable specified shape (construction height, alignment, network) can be reproducibly shaped and used. This has led to a hip endoprosthesis with a graduated surface structure. The construction height of the trabecular structure varies, decreasing from proximal to distal.
