Abstract
Abstract The femoral bone-hip joint endoprosthesis is characterized by the cavity construction of the prosthesis shank (10), by the ovaloid-conical aperture of the prosthesis shank and by the ovaloid-conical aperture of the upper prosthesis shank end for the accommodation of a cone plug connection (20).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
148 words
Femoral bone-hip joint endoprosthesis with an anatomically shaped shank (10) tapering conically in the direction of one of its ends and with an articular spheroid (30) secured to the same for an articular fossa (40), characterized in that, in the upper end (10a) of the shank (10) facing the articular spheroid, a cavity (11) is constructed, and in that the circumferential rim (12) delimiting the upper cavity aperture (11a), while forming a collar-like and tubular retaining stud (15), is inserted into the cavity (11), while the retaining stud (15) possesses an internal cavity (17) which tapers conically toward its free end (15a) and an oval internal cross-section (16) for accommodating a double cone plug connection (20), the double cone (120) of which, at least within the area of the retaining stud (15), is provided with a cross-sectional configuration that corresponds to the internal cross-sectional configuration of the latter.

Femoral bone-hip joint endoprosthesis with an anatomically shaped shank (10) tapering conically in the direction of one of its ends and with an articular spheroid (30) secured to the same for an articular fossa (40), characterized in that, in the upper end (10a) of the shank (10) facing the articular spheroid, a cavity (11) is constructed, and in that the circumferential rim (12) delimiting the upper cavity aperture (11a), while forming a collar-like and tubular retaining stud (15), is inserted into the cavity (11), while the retaining stud (15) possesses an internal cavity (17) which tapers conically toward its free end (15a) and an oval internal cross-section (16) for accommodating a double cone plug connection (20), the double cone (120) of which, at least within the area of the retaining stud (15), is provided with a cross-sectional configuration that corresponds to the internal cross-sectional configuration of the latter.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
153 words
Femoral bone-hip joint endoprosthesis with an anatomically shaped shank (10) tapering off conically in the direction of one of its ends with an articular spheroid (30) secured to the same for an articular fossa (40), characterized in that, in the upper end (10a) of the shank (10), a cavity (11) is constructed, and in that the circumferential rim (12) delimiting the upper cavity aperture (11a), while forming a collar-like and tubular retaining stud (15), is inserted into the cavity (11), while the retaining stud (15) possesses a uniform wall thickness extending over the entire length of the retaining stud (15) and tapers off conically toward its free end (15a) and has an oval cross-section for accommodating a double cone plug connection (20), the double cone (120) of which, at least within the area of the retaining stud (15), is provided with a cross-sectional configuration corresponding to the internal cross-sectional configuration of the latter.
