Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Each subject to be included into the study must fulfill the following inclusion criteria:

  • Subjects receiving a cement free hip prosthesis due to coxarthrosis because of primary or dysplastic arthrosis grade 1 – 3 according to Crowe or rheumatoid arthritis as well as subjects receiving a cement free hip prosthesis due to femur head necrosis (Crowe classification).
  • ASA and NSAIDs have been discontinued one week prior to surgery
  • Written informed consent
