MAYO® Conservative Hip Prosthesis*
A patient's first hip replacement surgery is known as a "primary surgery" and
replacement of the primary prosthesis is known as a "revision surgery." With
any primary hip replacement surgery, a certain amount of bone is removed to
make room for the hip prosthesis. A conservative approach to bone removal
leaves bone stock for future revisions if required. The MAYO Hip, a porous hip
implant, is used in primary hip replacement surgery and is designed to require
less bone removal than traditional primary hip implants. This makes the MAYO
Hip an option surgeons may consider for younger hip replacement patients.
