The Femoral Neck Elevator with Teeth is a specialized orthopedic surgical instrument designed to assist with controlled elevation, exposure, and manipulation of the femoral neck during hip surgery. Its toothed working end is designed to provide a secure point of contact with the bone, helping the surgeon maintain controlled positioning during procedures involving the proximal femur.
Femoral neck exposure is an important component of various hip procedures, including total hip arthroplasty, fracture treatment, revision procedures, and other reconstructive orthopedic techniques. A dedicated elevator can help provide access to the femoral neck and proximal femur while supporting controlled manipulation of the surgical anatomy.
The teeth on the working end are intended to provide additional purchase when appropriately positioned against the bone. This can help reduce unwanted sliding of the instrument during controlled elevation or manipulation. The instrument should be positioned carefully and used with appropriate surgical technique to avoid unnecessary injury to surrounding soft tissues.
Its working profile is designed to facilitate access around the proximal femur. The elevator can be used to assist with exposure when the femoral neck or proximal femur needs to be elevated or positioned for subsequent surgical steps. Its design provides a practical combination of reach, control, and direct contact with the target anatomical structure.
The handle allows the surgeon to apply controlled manual force while maintaining a secure grip. This is particularly useful when precise positioning is required within a confined orthopedic surgical field. The instrument can complement retractors, femoral preparation instruments, osteotomes, rasps, broaches, and other tools used during hip procedures.
Femoral Neck Elevators with Teeth are generally manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel for professional clinical use. Stainless steel provides the mechanical strength and corrosion resistance needed for repeated handling and appropriate instrument processing. A smooth external finish also supports routine cleaning, inspection, and sterilization.
The instrument may be incorporated into orthopedic and hip surgery instrument sets used in hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, trauma facilities, and specialty orthopedic practices. Its primary application is controlled femoral neck exposure and manipulation, with the exact use determined by the surgeon and the requirements of the procedure.
After use, the elevator should be cleaned promptly according to validated instrument-processing procedures. Particular attention should be given to the toothed working end, where biological material may remain after surgery. The instrument should be inspected for damaged or deformed teeth, surface corrosion, alignment issues, or other defects before sterilization and reuse.
Proper cleaning, sterilization, handling, and storage are important for maintaining the functional condition of the instrument. When supplied as a reusable surgical instrument, it should only be processed using validated methods and according to the manufacturer's instructions and applicable healthcare-facility protocols.

FAQs
What is a Femoral Neck Elevator with Teeth used for?
It is used to assist with controlled elevation, exposure, and manipulation of the femoral neck and proximal femur during orthopedic hip procedures.
What is the purpose of the teeth?
The teeth provide additional purchase against the bone, helping maintain controlled contact during appropriate elevation and manipulation.
Can it be used during total hip arthroplasty?
Yes. It can be incorporated into appropriate hip replacement procedures where controlled femoral neck or proximal femoral exposure is required.
Why use a toothed femoral elevator?
A toothed working end can provide more secure engagement with the bone compared with a smooth working surface when the surgical technique calls for additional purchase.
What material is the elevator made from?
Reusable orthopedic elevators of this type are commonly manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel for strength, durability, and corrosion resistance.
Is the Femoral Neck Elevator reusable?
When supplied as a reusable instrument, it can be cleaned, inspected, sterilized, and reused according to validated processing instructions.
How should the toothed elevator be maintained?
The teeth should be thoroughly cleaned and inspected after each procedure. The instrument should then be sterilized using a validated method appropriate for reusable surgical instruments.
