Advantages
The CONSERVE® implant is a wonderful option to total hip replacement, especially for patients suffering from traumatic or non-traumatic femoral head osteonecrosis.  Since most of these patients are typically young, a bone-conserving approach is preferred in order to buy them more time before a total replacement becomes necessary.

As the most bone-conserving approach to hip surgery, the CONSERVE® implant offers many advantages, which include:

• Minimal bone resection, which conserves femoral bone stock
• Decreased invasion of the femoral canal and reduced intraoperative blood loss
• 22 sizes (36-57 mm) in one millimeter increments, ensuring a precise fit in a wide variety of patient anatomies
• Anatomic head diameters that restore normal joint mechanics, promoting joint stability
• Tapered stem that aids alignment and enhances component stability
• No polyethylene wear debris, avoiding poly related osteolytic loosening
• Precise instrumentation to ensure consistent, reproducible bone resection
• Proven articulating material of cobalt chrome
• Cemented application for immediate rigid fixation of prosthesis to bone
• Specifically indicated for traumatic or non-traumatic femoral head osteonecrosis (late Ficat stage II, stage III, and early stage IV)
