34203 - Uncoated femoral stem prosthesis, modular

Therapeutic indications:

A cemented Cobalt Chrome femoral stem with a 12/14 taper, circulotrapezoidal neck, and longitudinal stem taper. The femoral canal is rasped with sequential broaches. After trialing and femoral canal preparation, a Buck cement restrictor is inserted into the canal and cement is injected from a pressurized gun. A stem driver is used to drive the stem into the femoral canal. Excess cement should be removed prior to femoral head impaction on the neck taper. A sterile femoral component of a total hip system. The stem was designed for revision of femoral distal defects such as holes, windows, or fractures around the end of the previously implanted stem. Hip components are indicated for individuals undergoing primary and revision surgery where other treatments or devices have failed in rehabilitating hips damaged as a result of trauma or noninflammatory degenerative joint disease (NIDJD) or any of its composite diagnoses of osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, traumatic arthritis, slipped capital epiphysis, fused hip, fracture of the pelvis, and diastrophic variant. Hip components are also indicated for inflammatory degenerative joint disease including rheumatoid arthritis, arthritis secondary to a variety of diseases and anomalies, and congenital dysplasia; treatments of nonunion, femoral neck fracture, and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement that are unmanageable using other techniques; endoprosthesis, femoral osteotomy, or Girdlestone resection; fracture-dislocation of the hip; and correction of deformity.
