ReCap™ Total Resurfacing System
17. Conversion of Resurfacing Procedure
to Total Hip Procedure
Figure 34
Should the femoral neck become notched or
damaged during preparation, or the femoral anatomy
be unsuitable for resurfacing, it will be necessary
to convert the resurfacing procedure to a total joint
procedure. If this is indeed the case, M2a-Magnum™
modular femoral heads and adaptors are available
(Figure 34).
It is recommended that M2a-Magnum™ implants and
a suitable femoral-stemmed component plus their
instruments are always on hand when a resurfacing
Figure 35
procedure is undertaken (Figure 35 & 36).
The M2a-Magnum™ femoral components are
designed to articulate with the ReCap
®
acetabular
component whilst the taper adaptors permit
accurate leg length/tissue reconstruction. This
allows the ReCap
®
acetabular component to
remain in position whilst the femur is prepared for
a stemmed femoral prosthesis. Please refer to the
M2a-Magnum™ (FLH171) operative techniques and
appropriate femoral component such as the
Figure 36
Bi-Metric
®
and Taperloc
®
operative techniques for
relevant information. (Figure 37).
