BIPOLAR HIP SYSTEM
+ It is the type of prosthesis in which the femoral head and neck, or in other words the upper end of the femur is replaced, with the preservation of acetabulum. Bipolar hip prosthesis consists of 3 parts:
1- Femoral Stem
2- Metal Head
3- Bipolar Cup
+ Femoral Stems are designed as cemented and cementless HA-coated.
+ Cocr and PE material are assembled together forming the Bipolar Cup and motion is provided by insertion of the Metal head into Bipolar Cup with the help of the locking mechanism.
+ This system is used for cases where total hip replacement is not indicated.
