Indications for HARMONY Acetabular Cup

HARMONY Acetabular Cup is a specialized orthopedic implant designed for use in hip joint replacement procedures. It is indicated for patients who require:

• Primary Hip Replacement: Replacement of a damaged or diseased hip joint with an artificial joint.
• Revision Hip Replacement: Replacement of a previously implanted hip joint that has failed or become loose.
• Osteoarthritis: Degenerative joint disease that causes pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
• Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune disease that causes inflammation and damage to the joints.
• Trauma-related Hip Joint Damage: Damage to the hip joint caused by injuries or accidents.

How Does The HARMONY Acetabular Cup Work

HARMONY Acetabular Cup is a specialized orthopedic implant designed for use in hip joint replacement procedures. It functions as the socket component of the artificial hip joint, providing a stable and durable articulation for the femoral head.

During surgery, the damaged hip joint is removed and replaced with an artificial joint consisting of a femoral stem and the HARMONY Acetabular Cup. The cup is securely fixed in the acetabulum, the socket-shaped part of the pelvis, using either cement or a press-fit technique.

The HARMONY Acetabular Cup is made from highly cross-linked polyethylene, a durable and biocompatible material that provides a smooth and low-friction surface for the femoral head to articulate against. This reduces wear and tear on the implant and promotes long-term durability.

The cup’s anatomical design accurately matches the shape of the acetabulum, ensuring proper alignment and stability of the hip joint. This helps to prevent dislocation and improve overall joint function.
