Abstract: A mechanically fixable acetabular unit for hip prostheses, having a conical acetabular basket made of a tissue-compatible metal alloy, the acetabular basket (1) is provided with cutouts (3) running in the direction of the generatrix and L-shaped anchors (4) are inserted into the cutouts (3) so, as to be tilted around the geometric axis running parallel with the tangent of the mantle of the acetabular basket and in such a manner that the shorter shank of the anchors (4) is arranged at the end with a smaller diameter of the acetabular basket and on the outer end it is formed as a pointed sharp claw (7), while the thickness of the longer shank (6) corresponds substantially to the wall-thickness of the acetabular basket (1), while the length corresponds to the length of the cutout (3).

Abstract: The hip prosthesis according to the invention is a further development of the prosthesis formed with conventional head provided with spherical surface, neck and stem, where a guide profile is formed along the outer straight side of the stem, containing components parallel with the side. The guide profile fits the inner surface of the medullary cavity nail, which allows the simultaneous use of the hip prosthesis and the medullary cavity nail, and nailing of the already prosthetized, then fractured femur.
