Abstract
This invention describes a femoral twin-stem for a hip endoprosthesis. Theateral stem portion and the medial stem portion are connected by a bridge. The neck of the femoral twin-stem is connected to the proximal section of the lateral stem portion. The proximal prong of the medial stem portion and the distal prong of the lateral stem portion allow for a gradual load transfer to the bone since they can be individually designed with a proper geometry all the way to their respective tips. Gradual load transfer in turn reduces stresses in the bone cement mantle and improves the long term results of the hip replacement effected with this femoral twin-stem.
