Thompson Hip Prosthesis Standard Stem
The Thompson Hip Prosthesis Standard Stem is a classic orthopedic implant used in hemiarthroplasty to replace the femoral head and neck. It is primarily indicated for patients with displaced femoral neck fractures, particularly those where the acetabulum (hip socket) remains healthy. Unlike the Austin Moore design, the Thompson prosthesis features a solid stem intended for use with bone cement, providing immediate and rigid fixation within the femoral canal.
Manufactured from high-strength, biocompatible materials such as Cobalt-Chromium or stainless steel, this prosthesis is designed to restore joint function and allow for early mobilization. The solid stem construction ensures maximum surface contact with bone cement, making it an ideal choice for patients with osteoporotic bone who may not support biological ingrowth.
