Two series of patients operated on with total hip replacements for arthrosis are reported. The same prosthesis and operative and cementing techniques were used in both series, except that in Series 2 a centralizing device consisting of four triangular fins passed over the tip was also used to improve the positioning of the femoral stem. It was found that the position of the tip was more central in Series 2. No drawbacks were associated with the use of the device. We concluded that the centralizing device facilitated the positioning of the femoral stem tip.Downloads
