Description

The Thompson hip prosthesis is a type of hip implant used in orthopedic surgeries for hip replacements or hip revision procedures. This particular variant, the “Excel Narrow Stem” with a diameter of 37mm, is a specialized implant designed to fit specific patient anatomies or surgical requirements.

Key features of the Thompson Hip Prosthesis Excel Narrow Stem (37mm) include:

Implant Type: This prosthesis is used in hip replacement surgeries to replace damaged or diseased hip joints. It’s a component of the implant that replaces the femoral head and part of the femur.

Narrow Stem Design: The “Narrow Stem” design indicates that the stem portion of the implant, which goes into the femur, has a narrower diameter. This design may be suitable for cases where a smaller stem is preferable due to patient anatomy or surgical considerations.

Diameter: The diameter of 37mm specifies the size of the femoral head component of the prosthesis. Implants come in various sizes to match the patient’s anatomy for proper joint function and stability.

Orthopedic Application: The Thompson hip prosthesis, like other hip implants, is used to alleviate pain, restore function, and improve mobility in patients suffering from conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or fractures of the hip joint.

Material and Construction: Hip prostheses are typically made from biocompatible materials like metal alloys or ceramic components to ensure durability and compatibility with the body.

Overall, the Thompson Hip Prosthesis Excel Narrow Stem (37mm) serves as a component in hip replacement surgeries, providing a functional and anatomically appropriate solution for restoring mobility and improving the quality of life for patients with hip joint issues.
