What is it indicated for?
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 or 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. This stem is to be press-fit.
Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
