Total Replacement with the CONSERVE® Total BFH® Hip Implant
|

CONSERVE® Total X-ray
|
This third offering within LIFETIME SOLUTIONS™ is the first true, primary hip
replacement implanted in the patient's body.
Most traditional total hip implants are made of plastic-on-metal
components. However, with the improved
wear characteristics of metal-on-metal bearings, the CONSERVE® Total BFH® hip
is expected to last much longer.
CONSERVE® Total Design
The CONSERVE® Total Hip utilizes the same BFH® Technology as the CONSERVE®
PLUS implant. Thus, the same benefits of large diameter metal-on-metal bearings
are maintained. The result of this increased femoral head diameter is an
anatomically-sized femoral head with a significantly larger dislocation
"jump distance."
With BFH® Technology, dislocation "jump distance" reaches 24mm,
as compared to 16mm for more traditional femoral head sizes. Thus, the BFH® implant must travel a greater distance to dislocate - a distance
that is so much greater, that the chance of dislocation is greatly reduced.4
