Bipolar Head Partial Hip Replacement

Reliable and Effective Treatment Option for Hip Fractures

Bipolar Head 

Partial hip replacement using Bipolar hip systems are a reliable and effective treatment option for hip fractures and diseased femoral heads and/or necks. The Bipolar shell articulates against the host acetabular articular cartilage, preserving acetabular bone stock for future considerations.

The System

• Highly polished cobalt-chromium outer shell
• Preassembled, monoblock construction
• Self-centering design
• Outer diameter size range from 41-46 mm are compatible with 22.2 mm femoral heads
• Outer diameter size range from 47-60 mm are compatible with 28 mm femoral heads
• Various neck lengths available to properly restore joint biomechanics    

The Stability

• Recessed head allows for a self-centering design, optimizing load transfer and reducing wear
• Detachable, inner retaining-ring prevents the prosthesis head from dislocating

The Integrity

• Durable connection between polyethylene insert and metal shell prevents micromotion and polyethylene wear
• Polyethylene thickness of at least 5 mm provides excellent wear performance

The Instrumentation

• One instrument tray facilitates operating room efficiency
• Trial shells allow both sizing and trialing, providing adaptability with preferred surgical technique
