The philosophy of anatomical stems was introduced into the market during the 1980's with the aim to obtain the best press-fit in the metaphyseal femur using a design following the natural geometry of the proximal femur. The length of the stem and the shape have been studied size by size and have shown to be bone preserving and to provide good mechanical stability.
WHY MiniMAX?
Minimal risk of impingement and fracture thanks to the lateral flare design
Reduced risk of thigh pain thanks to the unique tip design
Easy to introduce thanks to optimal stem curvature
Metaphyseal fixation thanks to proximal Ti & HA coating
NECK
9° anteversion.
Mirror polished with 12/14 Eurocone taper.
Growing size by size to restore anatomy.
SHAPE
The best fit and fill in the metaphysis to restore physiological loads.
MACROSTRUCTURES
Negative medially and positive laterally:
Increasing the contact area.
Improving the mechanical stability.
LATERAL FLARE
Rounded and non invasive:
Providing minimal risk of impingement and fracture.
Making the insertion of the stem in the femoral canal easier.
TIP
Short and thin with 5° curvature and a distal optimisation:
Guiding the insertion into the femoral canal.
Avoiding distal interference reducing the risk of thigh pain.
