A press-fit femoral stem prosthesis is a metal implant used in total hip replacement surgery to replace the upper part of the femur. It fits snugly into the remaining bone by pressing into the femoral cortex, creating a stable mechanical bond without relying on bone cement for fixation.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical implants, often requiring compliance with implant-specific standards and sterilization requirements. They are supplied sterile and intended for single-use in orthopedic procedures, with classification varying by jurisdiction based on risk factors like material and surgical context.
