BIRMINGHAM HIP RESURFACING (BHR) - 90051040


Device Description

A copy of a final femoral head prosthesis designed to be used for trial reductions during hip arthroplasty to judge the correct size, and to help achieve the desired offset, leg-length, and range of motion of the final prosthesis to be implanted. It is one of a set, or a set, of graduated sizes, and is used in conjunction with femoral stem trial or final prostheses; some may be used with explantation instruments during removal of implanted acetabulum cups. It is typically made of metal or polymer material and includes trial adapters used with large trial heads. This is a reusable device intended to be sterilized prior to use.

    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.
