Primary hip prosthesis Linear®

cementless

Every surgeon’s philosophy to hip arthroplasty is unique. The Linear is a versatile hip system that incorporates a reduced lateral shoulder, proximal fixation and reduced distal geometry. In combination, these design features provide an inherently stable and ideal implant for multiple surgical approaches to total hip arthroplasty. The proximal lateral shoulder of the Linear hip is reduced, which facilitates the implantation of the Linear Hip is reduced, which facilitates the implantation of the Linear hip and avoids varus implant positioning. The Linear has a tapered distal stem design that helps to reduce implant stiffness and reduce thigh pain. In addition, this reduced distal geometry facilitates the implantation of the Linear hip from a variety of surgical approaches, including the direct anterior approach. The Linear Hip System features dual offsets with intra-operative trailing for optimal patient fit. An extensive size range and consistent size increments help achieve the best implant fit with the optimal offset. The Linear Hip Features a six degree proximal taper in addition to 3DMatrix® porous coating to provide a locking proximal fit. This proximal, tapered wedge shape design provides a metaphyseal fit with excellent clinical results. The Linear hip is available with a wide variety of acetabular options designed to siuit different patient demands. The EMPOWR™ Acetabular System features HXE+, a highly crosslinked polyethylene blended with vitamin E. These poly bearings have been demonstrated to significantly reduce oxidation and long-term wear.
