What is the CONSERVE® Total Hip with BFH® Technology?
The femoral head of a normal, healthy adult is quite large in size. Traditionally, total hip replacement has replaced the large femoral head with a head much smaller than the original. The new CONSERVE® Total Hip system has been designed to mimic the natural kinematics of the hip by replacing the body’s natural head with a large diameter femoral head implant. The CONSERVE® Total Hip system incorporates a liner-less, high carbon, cast cobalt chrome cup, with a large diameter high carbon, cast cobalt chrome femoral head anchored by either press-fit or cemented stems. This provides a low-wear metal on metal articulation coupled with large diameter heads.
