12 MM SPACER
BIRMINGHAM HIP RESURFACING (BHR) - 90123212

A surgical jig-like device designed as a precision guide for the pre-drilling of orthopaedic screw holes into bone and for guiding an orthopaedic instrument into an implanted device, typically to treat long bones (e.g., femur, humerus, and tibia). It typically consists of two parts in one-piece or modular configurations: 1) an insertion guide in which the correctly angled/placed guide holes are situated; and 2) an insertion handle which will attach to the bone or implant. Drill guides or other drilling/tapping devices will be fed through the insertion guide at the precise intended angle, and it may have adaptations for providing magnetic alignment. This is a reusable device.

Device Name: Prosthesis, Hip, Semi-Constrained, Metal/Metal, Resurfacing

Device Class: 3

Physical State: The femoral resurfacing component and acetabular components are made of metal. These surfaces rub against each other (the bearing couple) and are made from highly-polished metal. This type of bearing couple is called a metal-on-metal bearing couple.

Definition: Prosthesis, hip, semi-constrained, metal/metal, resurfacing device relieves hip pain and improves hip function by replacing the parts of the hip that have been severely damaged by degenerative joint diseases. This device is indicated for patients with degenerative joint diseases including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic arthritis, dysplasia, or avascular necrosis and for patients who, due to their relatively younger age or increased activity level, may not be suitable for traditional total hip replacement due to an increased possibility of requiring future hip joint revision.

Gmp Exempt Flag: Prosthesis, hip, semi-constrained, metal/metal, resurfacing device has two parts: a socket in the shape of a shallow cup (acetabular component), and a cap in the form of a ball head (femoral resurfacing component). The cup replaces the damaged surface of the hip socket (acetabulum). The cap covers or resurfaces the ball-shaped bone at the top of the thigh (femoral head), and the cap has a small stem that is inserted into the top of the thighbone. The cap moves within the cup.
