%X Sa£¿etak The M¨¹ller type cemented hip prosthesis, also called self-locking prosthesis, is one of the most extensively copied and utilized hip prostheses. Considering the implantation of the cemented stem, the author originally suggested achieving a press fit between the stem and endostal cortex by implanting a prosthesis of the largest possible size. Analyzing our group of patients who undergo aseptic stem revision, we try to quantify the term £¿press fit¡° by measuring the filling of the femoral canal by the metal stem, the so-called canal-fill ratio. Our preliminary results suggest that press-fit is achieved when the stem occupies more than 90% of the canal diameter in the anterior-posterior projection
