Rejuvenate® Total Hip Replacement
Hip pain. It's personal.
Not only is your body different from anyone else's, so is your pain. How your chronic hip pain affects you is unique to you and the way you live your life. That's why at Stryker we've designed the Rejuvenate® Hip System.
A better fit for you.
Decades of surgical history have taught the orthopaedic community that the more closely a hip solution matches your natural anatomy, the better it may function and the longer it may last. The Rejuvenate® Modular Hip System offers you and your doctor some of the most extensive, technologically advanced, and customizable options for helping you and your hip function again. Your doctor can now choose, and more finely tune, specific treatment options to help meet your unique needs.
Meet Your Hip
How does it work and why does it hurt?
Your hip is actually a ball-and-socket joint where the femur (thighbone) meets the pelvis. The top of the femur ends in a rounded head that fits into a cup-like socket in the pelvis called the acetabulum. If your pain wasn't caused by an injury, your hip pain may be due to inflammation in the joint — most often referred to as arthritis. The most common forms of arthritis associated with hip pain are osteoarthritis (sometimes called wear and tear arthritis) and rheumatoid arthritis (a systemic immune disease). With osteoarthritis, the cushioning cartilage at the end of the femur may have worn down,making walking painful as bone rubs against bone. With rheumatoid arthritis, the soft tissue that stabilizes the joint may be inflamed and painful, leaving the door open for unwelcome changes in the bone. Your doctor may require a few tests to determine the type of arthritis affecting your joints.
