- GMDN category: Revision uncoated hip femur prosthesis
Intended purpose
A component of a total or hemi hip arthroplasty, the C-Stem AMT Revision femoral stem is intended to provide increased patient mobility and reduce pain by replacing the primary femoral stem implant during revision surgery in patients where there is evidence of sufficient sound bone to seat and support the components, and in the case of a hemi-hip prosthesis, satisfactory natural acetabulum.
Functional description
The sterile C-Stem AMT Revision femoral stem is cemented into the femoral canal using orthopaedic bone cement. A femoral head is placed on the proximal end of the 12/14 tapered stem which then articulates with the acetabulum. The C-Stem AMT Revision femoral stem can be used either as part of a total hip arthroplasty or as part of a hemi hip arthroplasty in cases where there is satisfactory natural acetabulum and sufficient femoral bone to seat and support the femoral stem.
