TARA FEMORAL COMPONENT 49

Device typeResurfacing metallic hip prosthesis: An implantable partial substitute for a disease-damaged hip joint intended to replace the articulating surfaces of the hip while preserving the natural femoral head and neck. It consists of a metallic femoral cap component, that is placed over (resurfaces) a surgically-prepared femoral head, and a metallic acetabular component; that is, both components are supplied together. Fixation devices for implantation (e.g., screws/bolts) may be included and implantation may be performed with or without bone cement. This device is commonly used for younger/active patients to avoid total hip replacements/revisions.
