Lazcano Hip Prosthesis is a monoblock, single-piece hip implant made from medical-grade stainless steel (SS316L). Designed for hemiarthroplasty, it is ideal for complex femoral neck fractures or salvage cases where the femoral neck is compromised. Its spherical head and long, tapered stem are forged as a single unit, providing a stable fit within the femoral canal, reducing mechanical failure points, and simplifying implantation. The durable stainless-steel construction ensures biocompatibility and long-term wear resistance, offering a cost-effective solution in resource-limited settings.
Indications:
- Femoral neck fractures with a short or resorbed neck unsuitable for conventional prostheses like Thompson
- Salvage procedures after failed internal fixation of the proximal femur
- Nonunion or malunion of femoral neck fractures
- Complex hemiarthroplasty in elderly patients with poor bone quality
- Cases where modular prostheses are not feasible due to bone loss or anatomical limitations
- Low-resource settings requiring a reliable, cost-effective single-piece implant
