THRUST-PLATES: AN ALTERNATIVE TO HIP RESURFACING?



Abstract

We present a series of 6 cases of femoral hip arthroplasty using the 3rd generation Thrust-Plate femoral hip prosthesis. The rational and outcomes of using this implant in selected patients is discussed. A brief overview of the Thrust-Plate as a device is presented along with a review of the current literature.

In our series of 6 we report no major complications. The average age of these patients is 53 years old. All implants remain fully functional at a mean follow-up of 41 weeks.
