What is it indicated for?

The Foundation 9 mm Forged Cemented Stem is intended for treatment of patients who are candidates for total or hemi-hip arthroplasty. The indications for use of the total hip replacement prosthesis include: noninflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis; rheumatoid arthritis; correction of functional deformity; revision procedures where other treatments where devices have failed; and treatment of nonunion, femoral neck and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement, which is unmanageable using other techniques. It is intended to be used with cement with acetabular components or with unipolar heads.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
