Cemented femoral stem Foundation®

The Foundation Total Hip System has been developed by enhancing proven design features and utilizing simplified instrumentation, thus providing a state-of-the-art system. The Foundation System offers a range of options to best match the individual patient's needs, all with one standard set of instrumentation. The system offers cemented stems with the 450 and 460 series, porous stems with the 470 and 480 series and a press-fit 440 series stem. FEATURES & BENEFITS: Foundation Total Hip System: Fracture Options: - Three Degree Tapered Geometry Three degree tapered geometry provides continuous compression to cement mantle. thus allowing the load to be distributed to the bone. - Enhanced Cobra Flange The Cobra Flange and normalization arches contribute to medial cement compression while improving the resistance to lateral tensile forces. - Distal Stem Taper The gradual taper of the distal stem geometry allows cement to flow over the stem and reduce the likelihood of air bubbles being introduced in to the implant cement interface. The taper allows thicker cement at distal tip resulting in lower cement stresses. Foundation Total Hip System: Cemented Options: - Enhanced Cement Fixation . The proximal PMMA Centralizers assure a cement mantle of two millimeters around the entire femoral stem. . The cobra flange and normalization arches contribute to medial cement compression while improving the resistance to lateral tensile forces. - Three Degree Tapered Geometry Three degree tapered geometry provides continuous compression to cement mantle. Thus allowing the load to be distributed to the bone.
