Thompson Hip Prosthesis 9 Pcs Long Stem

The Thompson Hip Prosthesis 9 Pcs Long Stem is an orthopedic hip implant system designed for selected hip arthroplasty procedures requiring a long-stem femoral prosthesis. The set provides multiple component sizes to help accommodate variations in femoral anatomy and support appropriate implant selection during hip reconstruction.

A Thompson-style hip prosthesis is a femoral component used in selected hip replacement procedures. The long-stem design extends further into the femoral canal than a shorter stem, providing an option for cases where a longer femoral component is appropriate according to the surgeon’s assessment, implant design, and surgical requirements.

The nine-piece configuration provides multiple long-stem sizes, allowing the surgical team to select an appropriately sized component based on preoperative planning and intraoperative assessment. Correct sizing is important for achieving suitable positioning and mechanical compatibility within the femur. The exact dimensions, offsets, head diameter, stem geometry, and other implant characteristics should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s specifications before clinical use.

Hip arthroplasty requires careful evaluation of the patient’s femoral anatomy, acetabular condition, bone quality, activity requirements, and overall surgical objectives. The appropriate prosthesis is selected by the orthopedic surgeon based on these factors and the specific implant system being used. This product should only be used by appropriately qualified professionals according to applicable surgical protocols and manufacturer instructions.

The long-stem configuration may be considered in selected cases where additional femoral stem length is required. However, the presence of a long stem does not by itself determine clinical suitability for a particular patient. Implant selection must be based on the specific indication, anatomy, surgical technique, and documented implant specifications.

The prosthesis should be handled using appropriate sterile surgical technique. Implant surfaces should be protected from scratches, contamination, or other damage that could compromise the device. Components should be inspected before implantation to ensure that the correct size and configuration have been selected and that there are no visible defects.

Because this product is an implantable orthopedic device, sterilization and packaging requirements are especially important. If supplied sterile, the packaging should be inspected for damage and the expiration or applicable device information should be verified before use. If supplied non-sterile, processing must follow the manufacturer’s validated instructions and applicable regulatory requirements. Implant-specific reprocessing instructions should always take precedence over general instrument-care guidance.

The Thompson Hip Prosthesis 9 Pcs Long Stem provides a selection of long-stem femoral components for compatible hip arthroplasty applications. The nine-piece configuration can provide size options for surgical planning, while final implant selection should always be determined by a qualified orthopedic surgeon using the manufacturer’s specifications and the patient’s individual anatomical requirements.

Product Specifications

FAQs

1. What is a Thompson hip prosthesis?

A Thompson hip prosthesis is a femoral hip replacement component used in selected hip arthroplasty procedures to replace or reconstruct the femoral component of the hip joint.

2. What does the 9-piece configuration mean?

The 9-piece configuration indicates that the set contains nine prosthetic components or size options. The exact dimensions and individual sizes should be confirmed from the product specification.

3. What is the purpose of the long stem?

A long-stem femoral component extends farther into the femoral canal and may be selected when a longer stem configuration is appropriate for the patient’s anatomy and surgical plan.

4. Is this prosthesis suitable for every hip replacement procedure?

No. Implant selection depends on the patient’s anatomy, bone quality, surgical indication, implant specifications, and surgeon’s preferred technique.

5. How is the correct prosthesis size selected?

The appropriate size is determined through preoperative planning and intraoperative assessment, taking into account femoral anatomy and the specific dimensions of the implant system.

6. Is the Thompson Hip Prosthesis an implantable device?

Yes. A hip prosthesis is an implantable orthopedic device and must be handled, stored, and used according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions and applicable regulatory requirements.

7. Should the prosthesis be sterilized before implantation?

Sterility requirements depend on how the product is supplied. If supplied sterile, the packaging and sterility information should be verified before use. If supplied non-sterile, sterilization must follow the manufacturer’s validated instructions.

8. Can this long-stem prosthesis be used with other hip implant systems?

Compatibility should not be assumed. The prosthesis should be used only with compatible components and according to the manufacturer’s documented specifications.
