Hip Education – Big Femoral Head (BFH) Stemmed Prothesis
There are a variety of conditions that can lead to hip joint deterioration resulting in pain, reduced range of motion and decreased quality of life. Those conditions include:
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Osteonecrosis
- Traumatic Arthritis
- Non-Arthritic Trauma
As a treatment option, Dr. Rogerson may recommend total hip replacement surgery with a hip implant from Wright. Recent technology advances for hip surgery are the CONSERVE Total Hip System with BFH Technology, and the minimally-invasive PATH Technique.
For decades Wright had been the industry leader, pioneering new and better ways to address hip joint replacement – which is why Dr. Rogerson has put his trust in Wright. The prospect of hip replacement surgery is an important choice for all patients, so this information is provided as a resource to enable you to learn more about technologies and techniques of hip replacement surgery.
