ABSTRACT:
A prosthetic constraining device for use with a hip replacement prosthesis that includes an acetabular cup assembly adapted to be bonded to a patient's pelvis and a femoral stem adapted to be bonded to the patient's femur, where the femoral stem includes a ball component at its proximal end received within the acetabular cup assembly to form a ball joint type coupling, and where the constraining device includes a ring having a central aperture, where the ring is adapted to be mounted to a rim of the acetabular cup assembly so that the femoral stem passes through the central aperture, where the diameter of the central aperture is less than the diameter of the ball component on the proximal end of the femoral stem so that the ring assists in maintaining the ball joint type coupling between the acetabular cup assembly and the femoral stem, and where the ring comprises a biologic material, a biologically reabsorbable material and a combination of biologic, or biologically reabsorbable materials.
