Hip-joint prosthesis with a shaft (3) which is to be insertedinto the femur and whose surface has an osteoinductivefinish. This finish is provided exclusively in themetaphyseal portion (5) of the shaft (3) and laterally fromthe line (7) of maximum AP dimension of the shaft crosssection. This ensures a better involvement of the metaphysealspongiosa in the flow of forces, without compromisingthe ability to perform follow-up surgery on the prosthesis.
