A method of plasty of the hip joint with the perforated metallic implant fixed with plastics is proposed. The method was approbated in experiment with 10 adult dogs and used in 3 patients with long-standing marginal fractures of the acetabulum. Morphological and roentgenological examinations have found restored integrity of the acetabulum, the supporting ability of the extremity and sufficient amplitude of movements.
