A femur fixture (1) for a hip-joint prosthesis comprising an intraosseous anchoring structure (3) of a generally circular cross-section for screwing laterally into a complementary bore drilled laterally into the neck of a femur after resection of the femur head to an anchored position. The intraosseaous anchoring structure (3) has a proximal end, a distal end, a relatively short frusto-conical proximal section (18) at the proximal end, and a proximal cylindrical section (11) having a screw thread profile thereon. The proximal cylindrical section (11) extends from the frusto-conical proximal section towards the distal end of the anchoring structure (3). The frusto-conical proximal section (18) and the proximal cylindrical section (11) each being dimensioned so as to bear against the cortex of the femur neck when the intraosseous anchoring structure (3) is in the anchored position. The invention also relates to a set of such femur fixtures, wherein the frusto- conical proximal section (18) and the proximal cylindrical section (11) of each fixture (1) in the set have different dimensions, whereby the fixture in the set having the frusto-conical proximal section (18) and the proximal cylindrical section (11) of correct size for abutting the cortex of the femur neck of a particular patient can be selected for use in that patient.

L'invention concerne une tige (1) fémorale destinée à une prothèse de la hanche. Cette tige comprend une structure (3) d'ancrage présentant une section sensiblement circulaire, conçue pour être vissée latéralement dans une position d'ancrage, dans un orifice complémentaire fraisé latéralement dans le col du fémur après résection de la tête de fémur. Cette structure (3) d'ancrage intra-osseuse comprend une extrémité proximale, une extrémité distale et une section (18) proximale tronconique relativement courte, située à l'extrémité proximale, et une section (11) cylindrique proximale comportant un profil fileté. La section (11) cylindrique proximale s'étend en direction de l'extrémité distale de la structure (3) d'ancrage, à partir de la section proximale tronconique. La section (18) proximale tronconique et la section (11) cylindrique proximale sont toutes deux dimensionnées de manière à venir s'appuyer contre le cortex du col du fémur lorsque la structure (3) d'ancrage intra-osseuse se trouve dans sa position d'ancrage. L'invention concerne également un assortiment comprenant des tiges fémorales de ce type. Les dimensions de la section (18) proximale tronconique et de la section (11) cylindrique proximale de chaque tige de l'assortiment sont différentes, ce qui permet de sélectionner la tige dont la section (18) proximale tronconique et la section (11) cylindrique présentent les dimensions adéquates pour venir buter contre le cortex du col du fémur d'un patient particulier.
