Ceramic V40 Femoral Head

The stryker v40 femoral head consists of a cobalt and chromium coated lfit head.

Ceramic v40 femoral head.

Aims the exeter v40 cemented femoral stem was first introduced in 2000. While there are five types of total hip implant systems used in the united states all hip replacement surgeries have inherent side effects and risks. The v40 femoral heads are available in an alloy made from cobalt and chromium as well as aluminum oxide and ceramic. An implantable artificial substitute for a diseased or injured femoral head that has an outer surface made of ceramic e g alumina zirconia.

The titanium adapters have an internal 12 14 taper that mates with the femoral stem while the option heads have a taper designed to mate with the adapters.

When combined with the stryker accolade tmzf hip stem the v40 femoral head made from cobalt and chromium could corrode and lead to severe metal toxicity in patients. Device problems material erosion 1214. The largest single centre analysis of this implant to date was published in 2018 by westerman et al. The ball is ceramic and the socket has a ceramic lining.

Ceramic femoral head prosthesis. Model number 28 mm. It is designed to be attached to the trunnion of a prosthetic femoral stem shaft or a head stem adaptor and to articulate with an acetabulum prosthesis as part of a total hip arthroplasty tha or with a bipolar component as part of a partial hip replacement. An implantable artificial substitute for a diseased or injured femoral head that has an outer surface made of metal e g cobalt chrome co cr titanium ti stainless steel.

It is designed to be attached to the trunnion of a prosthetic femoral stem shaft or a head stem adaptor and to articulate with an acetabulum prosthesis as part of a total hip arthroplasty tha or articulate with the natural acetabulum directly or via a bipolar component as part of a partial hip arthroplasty.
