Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a femoral component and a surface hip joint replacement prosthesis. Background Art

[0002] As the incidence of hip joint diseases increases year by year, total hip arthroplasty (THA) and hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) have become the main means of treating hip joint diseases. Total hip replacement usually involves the removal of the femoral head and femoral neck, and the replacement volume is large. Although the effect is significant, it may not be the best choice for young and sports-loving patients. Relatively speaking, because only the diseased bone on the surface of the femoral head or acetabulum is removed, the surface hip replacement can retain the bone mass of the femoral head and femoral neck to the greatest extent, reconstruct a normal gait, and improve the range of motion after surgery, it has gradually become popular among young patients and sports enthusiasts.

[0003] At present, the prosthesis widely used in surface hip replacement is usually a metal-on-metal (MoM) prosthesis, that is, both the femoral component and the acetabular component are made of wear-resistant metal materials. Although this design performs well in terms of wear resistance and strength, it also has obvious defects. Metal-on-metal prostheses release metal particles and metal ions during use. The accumulation of these metal ions in the body will cause a series of adverse reactions, which will not only cause chronic pain and prosthesis loosening, but may even require revision surgery. The release of metal ions is mainly due to the wear particles generated by metal parts during friction. These particles enter the surrounding tissues, triggering immune responses and tissue damage. In addition, the stiffness of metal materials is much higher than that of natural human bones, resulting in a stress shielding effect, that is, metal prostheses prevent physiological loads from being transmitted to bones. As a result, bone mass is absorbed during bone remodeling, bone density decreases, and bone mass defects and femoral neck fractures may eventually occur. The biodurability is poor, and these defects limit the application of prostheses.

[0004] In view of this, there is a need to improve the prosthesis of hip replacement in the prior art to solve the technical problem of poor durability. Summary of the invention
