“…In cases of endoprosthesis implantation, it is possible to choose between two general types: bipolar (BPEP) and total (TEP) hip endoprosthesis. BPEP, following unipolar hip endoprosthesis, was first introduced in 1974 (13) to reduce the friction between the acetabular cartilage and the prosthesis (14)(15)(16). When comparing BPEP and the Austin-Moore (unipolar) hip endoprostheses, some authors (8,17,18) found that BPEP may give superior results, while other authors (12,19,20) found that unipolar and bipolar hip endoprosthesis are essentially the same regarding dislocation and other parameters.…”
