THOMSON PROSTHESIS

The Thomson Prosthesis is a type of hemiarthroplasty implant used for the replacement of the femoral head in patients with hip fractures, particularly those involving the femoral neck. This prosthesis is designed to fit into the natural anatomy of the femur, providing stability and restoring joint function. It is commonly used in elderly patients with lower activity levels where total hip replacement may not be necessary. The Thomson Prosthesis allows for a smoother, pain-free range of motion, and helps in maintaining mobility and quality of life following hip surgery. Its simple design facilitates easier implantation and reduces surgical time.
