Paprosky femur defect classification C016 / 6621
Paprosky femur defect classification. Diagram showing the classification system for femur cortex defects used to assess revision (replacement or repair) of a hip implant. The ball and socket part of the implant is at top. The rest of the implant consists of a shaft inside the femur (thigh bone). The amount of degradation in the cortical (outer) bone layer determines the amount of bone grafting needed, and whether a cementless implant can replace a cemented one. Six regions are labelled, and five subtypes described (type IV not shown). Named for US surgeon Wayne G. Paprosky, the classification was developed in the 1980s and 1990s. For specific types, see images C016/6622 to C016/6637

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Paprosky femur defect classification system, which is used to assess the revision of a hip implant. The diagram illustrates the different regions and subtypes involved in determining the amount of bone grafting required and whether a cementless implant can replace a cemented one. Developed by US surgeon Wayne G. Paprosky in the 1980s and 1990s, this classification system plays a crucial role in guiding surgical decisions for patients with degraded cortical bone layers. The image highlights six labeled regions and five described subtypes, excluding type IV. It depicts an implant consisting of a ball-and-socket part at the top connected to a shaft inside the femur (thigh bone). By assessing the extent of degradation in the outer cortical layer, surgeons can determine appropriate treatment options. With its white background and detailed illustration, this artwork provides valuable insight into orthopedic surgery techniques involving hip replacements. It delves into concepts such as osteology, arthrology, prosthesis usage, grafting procedures, and more. It's important to note that this print is not associated with any specific company or commercial use; rather it serves as an educational tool for medical professionals studying or practicing within orthopedics or related fields.
