On the basis of its clinical success, a 2.5 mm shortened X-acta stem was designed to facilitate stem implantation through the AMIS approach and reduce bone removal.
SUCCESSFUL CLINICAL HISTORY
The collarless, double-tapered, polished design that inspired the X-acta stem has proven successful for more than 45 years of Total Hip Replacement (THR).
SINGLE PROVEN SYSTEM
As a collarless stem, X-acta allows surgeons to intra-operatively accommodate most patient anatomies and indications, including fracture, primary and revision cases. It may be chosen as the SOLE system for a surgeon's practice.
USER-FRIENDLY DESIGN
Three depth markings spaced 4 mm apart are etched on the proximal part of the X-acta stem.
The markings allow for the correction of the leg length by adjusting the depth of the stem insertion.
The same markings are also indicated on the rasps.
The X-acta stem is provided with a winged PMMA distal centralizer that facilitates the stem positioning and optimizes the load transfer.
1 - SURFACE TREATMENT
The mirror polished finishing provides a cement-friendly surface which optimizes the transfer of compressive forces
2 - MIRROR POLISHED NECK
The mirror polished surface of the neck minimizes soft tissue damage and liner wear, making the X-acta stem suitable for double mobility liners
3 - DOUBLE-TAPERED DESIGN
X-acta double-tapered design provides axial and rotational stability
