00:00Yeah, my dad had got those.
00:05And these are different sizes?
00:07Well, so that's the Charnley Elite, that one was designed in the 70s.
00:12Oh yeah.
00:13Pulled out about 10 years ago.
00:15That's sort of second generation and then that's...
00:18I just gave it a slightly bigger head.
00:20Not cemented anymore, in grey. Ceramic head rather than steel.
00:24Just taken out, which is always fun.
00:27And then, see the siding over here.
00:30There's some vaguely important blood vessels down at the top of the GT.
00:35They're important for a native hip, in that they supply the femoral head.
00:38But when you're going to cut out the femoral head,
00:40they lose that and you guys will all know the names of the
00:42more than one natural hemispheres of the thigh heart.
00:45We haven't actually done that yet.
00:46That's in the biceps of the outside.
00:49Yeah, on the inside you've got the pairs.
00:52So, bristles are 17.
00:53So they remember nice as well as other things.
00:55But luckily, we can give this guy a grey three hamstring spray
00:58and see some lines.
01:03So yeah, when we're nailing femurs,
01:05obviously the entry at the top over this,
01:08just split that fascia, get to the top of the femur.
01:11And you can put all sorts of big things down to stabilise fracture.
01:15A bit of plastic where there's not a bad thing.
01:17It's a bit like a sacrificial anode, right?
01:19You're putting something in that you know is going to wear a little bit,
01:21but also mean you know where it's going to catch.
01:24Does that make sense?
01:25Yeah.
01:26You know the problem's going to be on this side.
01:27Again, open up the knee, pop it out, put in a new one.
01:30Another 20 years, happy go.
