The need for complete joint replacement in the surgical treatment of osteo-arthritis of the hip is becoming more apparent following the unpredictable results of other forms of arthroplasty where only one or other side of the joint is replaced. The introduction of total hip prosthesis poses the problem of fixation of the acetabular component. Charnley's contribution in using acrylic cement to grout in the stem of the femoral component has largely solved the fixation on this side of the joint. It is not so easy to apply the same principle to the acetabular part of the prosthesis. No fixation, long-screw fixation, and straight-pin fixation have not proved satisfactory. It remains to be seen whether the present method used by McKee and Charnley, of a press fit into cement, will prove the test of time. In the early stages of development of the Stanmore hip joint various forms of acetabular fixation were considered. It was finally decided that an adequate hold could only be obtained by three-point fixation, using diverging nails inserted into the three primary bony components of the acetabulum. This principle has been maintained in the later models, but by using cement for grouting the nails, it has been possible to simplify the prosthesis and discard some of the complicated instruments required for the insertion. A brief description of the surgical technique will be given.
