Croatian model of hip joint endoprosthesis

The aim of this work is to present basic knowledge about the first, and so far the only model of femoral part of hip joint endoprosthesis shaped in Croatia. Construction of ROM and PROMOD femoral part of hip joint endoprosthesis was based on current shaping of classic total endoprosthesus considering personal experience in application of the endoprosthesis. Investigations were based on clinical analysis of succes and failure in implantation of different endoprosthese. Results of these investigations were basic factors in biomechanical analysis during construction of the best shape of endoprosthesis. Analysis of complications with implanted endoprosthese suggested that the shape and application needed improvement. Femoral part of the Croatian model of hip joint endoprosthesis was constructed using basic and applicable bioomechanical investigations. It is the first and the only model of endoprosthesis constructed in Croatia and manufactured in Switzerland at the highest technical level and using best materials. ROM and PROMOD model came to clinical application after many tests of quality and biomechanical characteristics done in laboratories in Switzerland. The endoprosthesis is a result of joint biomechanical and professional work of Croatian scientists.
