Stabilization of Thompson femoral head prosthesis with a porous stem coating: a case report
Clin Orthop Relat Res.
1978 May.
Abstract
A 40-year-old woman with a femoral neck fracture was treated with a proplast coated Fred Thompson prosthesis. Two years later the prosthesis was found to be securely stabilized to the femoral shaft with tissue ingrowth into the coating.
