Total Resurfacing with the CONSERVE® PLUS Implant
Unlike a total hip replacement, total hip resurfacing allows the patient’s femoral head and neck to be retained and the patient’s femoral canal is not invaded. This procedure helps preserve the patient's bone, as well as, natural motion in the joint.

Wright’s large femoral head components enable the CONSERVE® PLUS Total Resurfacing Implant to offer a hip procedure with excellent stability and range of motion. Many patients with total resurfacing implants enjoy a pain-free life with increased activity levels for many years.

What components make up total resurfacing implants?

CONSERVE® PLUS Acetabular Compound X-ray

CONSERVE® PLUS Acetabular Shell and Femoral Head
The CONSERVE® PLUS acetabular component is a super-finished cobalt chrome shell manufactured to the tightest tolerances in the orthopaedic industry. The acetabular component is a "low profile" component, which allows for an additional 10º range of motion compared to "standard profile" shells. This acetabular component mates with a super-finished cobalt chrome CONSERVE® femoral head for excellent metal-on-metal implant longevity. These two components form an extremely stable hip joint because of the size of the femoral heads, which range from 36-56mm in diameter (compared to traditional 28mm heads). The CONSERVE® Family of Implants is designed with BFH® Technology (large femoral heads) which allows for a range of motion up to 172°. This is significantly better than many standard total hip devices which fall into the range of 130° - 135°.*

CONSERVE® PLUS Implant Design
The CONSERVE® PLUS Implant utilizes the same BFH® Technology as the CONSERVE® Total Hip Implant. Thus, the same benefits of large diameter metal-on-metal bearings are maintained. BFH® Technology has produced a superior artificial hip that is more like your normal hip anatomy in size and function. In traditional hip surgery, the diseased hip is replaced with a joint that is much smaller in size which can make the new joint susceptible to dislocation. In contrast, the larger femoral head in the BFH® Technology Hip reduces the chance of post-operative dislocation while increasing the range of motion. In fact, BFH® Technology allows patients to potentially achieve up to a 172° range of motion, compared to 130° - 135° of Wright’s traditional implants.* This extra range of motion can make a big difference for those trying to return to a normal, active life.
