A femoral head/stem prosthesis adaptor is a small, tubular implant used in hip replacement surgery to connect the femoral head to the stem of a hip prosthesis. Clinically, it helps adjust the positioning and alignment of the hip joint, correcting issues like offset, neck length, or angle during revision surgeries or primary procedures where precise fit is critical.
These adaptors are typically regulated as implantable devices, often requiring compliance with strict manufacturing and sterility standards. They are usually supplied as sterile, single-use components and must be compatible with specific femoral head prostheses to ensure proper function and patient safety.
