Abstract
The introduction of bioceramics into joint replacement arthroplasty enabled the first uncemented acetabular prosthesis to be implanted in tumor patients in 1974 [4]. This prosthesis derived its main attachment from three symmetrically-arranged pegs, which enabled a mechanically stable primary anchorage to be achieved. In subsequent years uncemented acetabular prostheses of this type were implanted in 14 additional tumor patients and in 71 patients with degenerative arthritis [3].
