A ceramic femoral head prosthesis is an artificial replacement for the damaged or injured upper thigh bone (femur) in hip joint surgery. It is designed to fit onto a prosthetic stem or adaptor and work with either a full hip implant or a partial replacement, mimicking the natural ball-and-socket movement of the hip joint.
These devices are typically regulated as implants, with classification and supply rules varying by jurisdiction. They are often supplied sterile and intended for single-use in surgical procedures, though some modular designs may allow for customization during surgery.
