A press‑fit hip femur prosthesis, modular, is a sterile implant used as the femoral component of a total hip replacement. It replaces the natural femoral head and neck and is built from two or more pieces, such as a stem, neck and head, that are assembled during surgery.
These devices achieve stability by pressing the distal stem into the cortical bone of the remaining femur, creating a mechanical interlock without cement. They are typically made of metal or ceramic and may include supplemental fixation elements like screws or bolts, and are regulated as implantable medical devices.
