Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The development and clinical indications of a new modular femoral endoprosthesis consisting of a head and shaft component is discribed. Components are available in different lengths and diameters and therefore can be joined individually depending on the patients anatomy and surgery required. Both parts are joined by a unique optimized taper socket with a groove, avoiding fretting and corosion. Fatigue tests showed no loosening of the tapered connection and no prosthesis fracture. The advantage of this new modular prosthesis is diaphyseal stabilization, if necessairy by two distal interlocking screwes. Indications are revisions, pertrochanteric femoral and neoplastic fractures if cementless bridging of boney defects in the calcar region must be achieved. Further indications are femoral neck fraktures and coxarthrosis if stable diaphyseal fixation is required. The material and surface structure as well as the philosophie of the distal fixation are discussed.
