Femoral stem design

Femoral stem design refers to the part of a hip replacement implant that fits inside the thigh bone (femur). It provides support and stability for the artificial hip joint. The design considers factors like shape, size, and surface to ensure a secure fit and promote bone growth around it. Some stems are smooth, while others are textured or coated to improve bonding. The goal is to restore normal hip function, reduce pain, and last many years, while accommodating different bone anatomies and activity levels. Proper design minimizes complications and enhances the longevity of the implant.
