The Revelation® Lateral Flare® Total Hip System was designed based on a more complete understanding of hip joint biomechanics and bone morphology.
By loading the lateral femur, the Revelation Hip System reproduces normal physiologic loading patterns, reduces potential for subsidence, and avoids diaphyseal overloading which has been sited as a cause of thigh pain.
FEATURES & BENEFITS:
Bone Preservation and Regeneration
By respecting Wolff’s law, which states that bone is formed in response to the loading it experiences, the Revelation femoral component has been shown not only to preserve up to 95% of bone stock in primary surgeries, but to contribute to bone regeneration in revision surgeries with prior bone loss. Because of this feature, the Revelation Total hip System is suitable for younger, more active patients, in whom implant longevity is particularly important.
Primary Stability
By engaging the lateral femoral cortex as an additional base of support, the Revelation femoral component prevents stem subsidence and provides secure primary stability, which is a prerequisite for a long-term biological fixation. Compared to a straight stem, the Revelation stem has been shown to significantly less likely to migrate. In addition, the trapezoidal cross-section of the stem resists rotational forces. Due to its inherent stability, the Revelation stem allows for full postoperative weight bearing.
Proximal Femur Load Transfer
By loading the lateral femur, the Revelation Hip System reproduces normal physiologic loading patterns, reduces potential for subsidence, and avoids diaphyseal overloading which has been sited as a cause of thigh pain.
