Hip prosthesis

Patent Granted The prosthetic implant used in hip replacement consists of three parts: the acetabular cup, the femoral component, and the articular interface. Options exist for different people and indications. The evidence for a number of newer devices is not very good including: ceramic-on-ceramic bearings, modular femoral necks, and uncemented monoblock cups.[13] Correct selection of the prosthesis is important.
