Polymotion Hip Resurfacing (HR) Device

Polymotion Hip Resurfacing (HR) Device

Because this is an FDA trial, I will be more restrictive and not admit patients who have complex cases or who have risk factors that I believe may increase the risk of failure. As soon as the implant is approved (in about 4 years) and I have learned more about the way this implant performs, I will ease these restrictions. The overriding goal at this point is to have excellent 2-year outcomes to assure FDA approval.

Summary of contraindications:
