Femoral stem prosthesis trials are temporary components used during hip replacement surgery to help surgeons assess fit, alignment, and function before implanting the final prosthesis. They allow clinicians to evaluate leg length, offset, and range of motion in real time, ensuring optimal positioning for the permanent implant.
These devices are reusable and must be sterilized before use, typically supplied as part of a modular set with trial sleeves and necks. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified as surgical instruments rather than implants, with compliance requirements tied to their reusable nature and sterilization processes.
