SIZE 50 DIRECT ANTERIOR STYLUS
BIRMINGHAM HIP RESURFACING (BHR) - 90127950

A hand-held surgical instrument intended to be used during implantation of an orthopaedic prosthesis, either manually or as a computer-assisted surgery (CAS) device, to aid in the navigation/placement of the prosthesis or other instruments [e.g., drill sleeves and guide wires (Kirschner wires), patella saw guide]. It may be used for the following applications: 1) to hold/align/fix/guide other instruments, prostheses, or prosthesis components; 2) to provide relative position landmarks; 3) to ascertain correct spatial orientation or limb alignment; and/or 4) as an interface (non-adaptive) between prosthesis components. 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.

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.
