Diagram shows the influence of pressure on bone absorption. With the use of the Judet prosthesis (right), absorption widens the cervical canal: the prosthesis becomes loose and absorption is aggravated. When the cervico-capital prosthesis is used (left), the device presses on a more vascularized part of the femur. Even with slight absorption, the prosthesis will not tilt nor will it become loose.
