Hip Fracture Management Solutions
Intracapsular fractures
Total hip replacement (THR) can offer clinical benefits over traditional internal fixation (IF) or hemiarthroplasty (HA) solutions in the treatment of intracapsular hip fracture. Patients treated with THR have demonstrated better health outcomes(1,2) and a significantly lower occurrence of increased pain levels at both 1 and 13 year intervals than those treated with HA(3), as well as having fewer major re-operations(4) and a lower risk of mortality(5).
Complementing our suite of THR prostheses, Corin also offers a wide range of traditional and progressive solutions for fracture management, fulfilling the needs of all clinicians.
