Paprosky femur defect, type IIIA lateral
Paprosky femur defect. Cutaway artwork of bone degradation in a type IV medial-lateral femur cortex defect (Paprosky classification system). This system is used for 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. Type IV defects make the shaft unable to support weight (see C016/6620 for other types). Named for US surgeon Wayne G. Paprosky, the classification was developed in the 1980s and 1990s

EDITORS COMMENTS
This detailed print showcases a Paprosky femur defect, specifically a type IIIA lateral defect. The image is an intricate cutaway artwork that depicts the degradation of bone in the medial-lateral femur cortex, following the Paprosky classification system. This classification system is crucial for guiding revision procedures of hip implants. At the top of the illustration, we can observe the ball and socket component of the implant, while the rest consists of a shaft placed inside the femur (thigh bone). The severity of cortical bone degradation determines whether bone grafting is necessary and if a cementless implant can replace a cemented one. Type IV defects render the shaft incapable of supporting weight. Named after esteemed US surgeon Wayne G. Paprosky, this classification was developed during the 1980s and 1990s to aid orthopedic surgeons in determining appropriate treatment plans for patients requiring hip implant revisions. The image provides valuable insight into this medical condition by highlighting various anatomical structures such as metaphysis, metaphyseal region, diaphysis, and cortical layers affected by deterioration. It serves as an educational tool for healthcare professionals involved in arthroplasty surgeries or those studying osteology and arthrology. With its white background and precise detailing, this print from D & L GRAPHICS / SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY offers an informative visual representation that aids understanding of large bone defects like Paprosky femur defects within medical contexts.
