The BIRMINGHAM HIP
Resurfacing (BHR) System is a single use device intended for
hybrid fixation: cemented femoral head component and cementless
acetabular component. The BHR system is intended for use in
patients requiring primary hip resurfacing arthroplasty due to:
-
Non-inflammatory
arthritis (degenerative joint disease) such as
osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, avascular necrosis, or
dysplasia/DDH, or
-
Inflammatory
arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis.
The BHR System is intended for
patients who, due to their relatively younger age or increased
activity level, may not be suitable for traditional total hip
arthroplasty due to an increased possibility of requiring future
ipsilateral hip joint revision. |
