Jean Judet (one of the great pioneers of joint replacement in France) :«We got the acrylic in blocks from a dealer. However, we also went to industry to have some wear and strength studies done. We had to be a bit careful, because it was rather presumptuous to go and put in these heads just like that. The actual surgery was all right, because we had rehearsed the procedure on cadavers at Clamart. The first implant was inserted in 1946. The patient was a wine merchant from Boulogne, with very disabling OA of the hip. By the eighth day, he was happily walking around, and pain-free; and he was celebrating the successful outcome with copious quantities of Beaujolais.»
