TRIDENT X3 10 DEGREE ECCENTRIC ACETABULAR INSERT - Non-constrained polyethylene acetabular liner

Intended purpose

Designed to replace the articulating surface of the acetabular. Indications: • Painful, disabling joint disease of the hip resulting from: degenerative arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, post-traumatic arthritis or late stage avascular necrosis. • Revision of previous unsuccessful femoral head replacement, cup arthroplasty or other procedure. • Clinical management problems where arthrodesis or alternative reconstructive techniques are less likely to achieve satisfactory results. • Where bone stock is of poor quality or is inadequate for other reconstructive techniques as indicated by deficiencies of the acetabulum.
