Intended purpose

An implantable ball-shaped component used to replace the anatomical femoral head and intended to attach to the trunnion of a femoral stem component used in a total or hemi hip joint replacement. The indications for use for total hip and hemi hip arthroplasty include, noninflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis, rheumatoid arthritis (except the OSTEOLOCK HA Acetabular Cup and Peri-Apatite coated prostheses), correction of functional deformity, revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed, treatment of nonunion, femoral neck and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement that are unmanageable using other techniques.
