BHR HEAD
BIRMINGHAM HIP RESURFACING (BHR) - 90128076
Device Description
A device designed to determine the appropriate size and placement of a non-dental implant for a patient prior to or during implantation surgery. It is typically available as a graduated set or an individual plate (e.g., a translucent plastic sheet or a cut metal shape) with patterns/sizes corresponding to the size of the implant to be used to aid the surgeon in final selection of implant size, placement, and/or adaption. It is used for, e.g., total- or partial-joint prostheses, bone fracture fixation implants (plates, nails, including skull plate implants) or other types of surgical implants. 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.

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.
