1. General Description
The Femoral Broach is a precision surgical instrument designed for hip replacement procedures, specifically for the preparation of the femoral medullary canal. This broach is engineered to be compatible with the widely used Corail Stem, a mature and trusted femoral stem in the global orthopedic market. Made from medical-grade stainless steel 630/17-4PH, it offers excellent strength, wear resistance, and biocompatibility. With a hardness range of 43-47 HRC, the femoral broach is durable enough to handle the demands of modern orthopedic surgeries while ensuring precision in medullary canal preparation.
The broach sizes range from 6# to 18#, with 1# increments, ensuring tailored options for various patient anatomies. This instrument is designed for compatibility with global brands, including Stryker, Microport, Medtronic, Link, and Synthes, offering seamless integration with existing surgical systems.
2. Features
- Material: Constructed from 630/17-4PH medical-grade stainless steel, known for its corrosion resistance and strength.
- Hardness: 43-47 HRC, providing the durability required for precise medullary canal broaching.
- Compatibility: Specifically designed to fit the Corail Stem while being compatible with major brands such as Stryker, Microport, Medtronic, Link, and Synthes.
- Size Options: Available in a wide range of sizes, from 6# to 18#, with 1# increments for precise fit and patient customization.

3. Intended Use
The femoral broach is used in hip arthroplasty procedures to prepare the femoral medullary canal for the implantation of femoral stems. It is essential for ensuring accurate canal shaping and achieving optimal prosthetic fit and alignment.
4. Indications
- Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty: For patients with advanced hip degeneration caused by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or avascular necrosis.
- Revision Hip Surgery: To reshape the medullary canal during femoral stem replacement.
- Trauma-Related Hip Reconstruction: For fractures requiring hip prosthesis implantation.
- Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH): Corrective procedures for abnormal femoral anatomy.
5. Contraindications
- Active Infection: Localized or systemic infections near the surgical site.
- Severe Bone Loss or Weakness: Patients with compromised bone structure unsuitable for prosthetic implantation.
- Material Sensitivity: Allergic reactions to stainless steel 630/17-4PH or its components.
- Non-Surgical Treatment Alternatives: When less invasive solutions are adequate for the patient's condition.
