NEW HIP PROSTHESIS

Traditionally, it was said that hip replacements should be fitted to older people as their average life span was limited to 10-15 years.

With the arrival of new hip prostheses with their new materials and advanced design, this is no longer the case. The ideal age for the placement of a hip prosthesis has decreased significantly because of this.

The presence of short stems allows its placement with increasingly smaller incisions and different approaches as the previous approach.
The hydroxyapatite coating allows rapid integration with the bone.
The ceramic heads allow less wear and tear and the average life of the prosthesis to rise above 30 years.

In general, the advances in this type of prosthesis allow a faster recovery, less intraoperative bleeding and therefore a lower rate of complications.

HIP PROSTHESIS MBA SURGICAL EMPOWERMENT

	Design Designed by Furlong y Osborn Pioneer with HAC Coating First implantation in 1985 More than 300.000 implantations around the world At the present time it continues triumphing: Easy implantation Big articular diameters Reduce risk of luxation Femoral options more conservative Easy for any MIS approach
