The Narral-Hip System CoCr Stem is intended to replace the anatomy of the femur in cases of total hip or hemi-hip replacement. The Natral-Hip Systern CoCr Stem is intended for cemented application only. The general indications associated with the use of Natural-Hip System CoCr Stem in total hip arthroplasty include:

1. Patient conditions of non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease (NIDID), e.g., avascular necrosis, osteoarthritis and inflammatory joint discase (1JD), e.g., rheumatoid arthritis.

2. Those patients with failed previous surgery where pain, deformity or dysfunction persists.

3. Revision of previously failed arthroplasty.

Total hip replacements may be considered for younger patients if any unequivocal indication outweighs the risks associated with the age of the patient, and modified demands regarding activity and hip joint loading arc assured. This includes severely crippled patients with multiple joint involvement for whom an immediate need of hip mobility leads to an expectation of significant improvement in the quality of their lives.

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