Summary:Total hip replacement is one of the most successful procedures in surgery. In Germany there is a great variety of cemented and uncemented implants with different principles of fixation. We reviewed the different principles, with particular reference to long-term clinical outcome, and discuss the most popular systems available in Germany.
