Cementless veterinary hip prosthesis Zurich THR

for total hip arthroplastyfor dogs

Total hip replacement surgery removes and replaces both the ball and socket of the hip with prostheses. Various hip replacements systems are available on the market, which include metal or ceramic balls at the top of the femur that fits into a cup. The prostheses are generally held in place using bone cement or screws, which are referred to as ‘cementless’ implan The Zurich Cementless hip replacement system features some unique design elements, which makes it the most advanced hip replacement system on the market. Simplicity and Versatility Zurich Cementless includes a wide range of sizes for THR for toy to giant breed dogs, but also a unique solution for high luxation risk patients (Dual Mobility), a partial hip replacement system (Cupless), and revision cups for the THR systems. A wide range of medullary canal dimensions can be covered by a minimal set of stems. Modular system to combine different sizes of stems, necks, heads, and cups to comfort your patient anatomical needs perfectly. Locking screw technology eliminates micromotion of the femoral component. The stem is affixed to the medial cortex only, preventing the stress-shielding of the proximal femur and allowing the implant to grow with the femoral bone structure. A hydroxyapatite surface modification of the stem and cup promotes rapid bone integration. The Zurich Cementless THR is designed to relieve chronic joint pain and provide a fully functional recovery. Over the last 20 years, more than 20,000 dogs worldwide have been treated with the Zurich Cementless hip replacement system. Until today, the system has gone through multiple iterations aiming to improve the long-term performance of the device.
