Previously, attempts have been made to reduce the stiffness differences between the implant and bone by using isoelastic implants. In this case, a sheath of polymer surrounds the metallic shaft of a hip endoprosthetic implant, the aim being to provide a smooth gradient of the modulus of elasticity. Unfortunately,
