Involves the removal of diseased heads and sockets forshould be replaced with a prosthesis. Artificial joint consists of a ball and socket in which it rotates. In each case the selected type of prosthesis and method of installation - with cement or cementless fixation.

Prostheses first type is set using bone cement. Most often, this method is used in elderly patientsage vsilu weakness of bone tissue. In addition, this type of prosthesis fixation allows earlier to give the load on the operated limb.

- pseudoarthrosis femoral neck;
- non-united fractures of the femoral neck.

The risks fussikayuschie during the operation:
- a possible blood clot;
- voiding dysfunction;
- infections of the skin or joint;
- bone fractures;
- limited mobility of the hip ;
- weakening at fixing the prosthesis;
- the development of cardiac arrhythmias;
- liver toxicity;
- Pneumonia.
