FEMORAL HEAD 48MM

FEMORAL HEAD 48MM
BIRMINGHAM HIP RESURFACING (BHR) - 74123148

An implantable hemisphere-shaped device used as part of a partial hip replacement (femoral) and designed to interface with the acetabulum on its outer surface where it freely rotates, and interface with a femoral head prosthesis on its inner surface where it allows free rotation of the head. It is a one-piece device typically composed of an outer metal shell [e.g., cobalt-chrome (Co-Cr), titanium (Ti), stainless steel] and an inner polyethylene (PE) liner.

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.
