Cemented acetabular prosthesis Novae® Stick

The Novae® range is based on the Dual Mobility concept invented in 1975 by Professor Gilles BOUSQUET (Saint-Etienne University Hospital) and Mr André RAMBERT, founder of SERF. Dual Mobility is the combination of two principles in orthopaedics: Sir Charnley’s low friction concept: use of thick polyethylene with a small 22.2 mm head to reduce wear. The McKee-Farrar concept: use of a large head to reduce the risk of prosthesis dislocation and instability. INDICATIONS Novae® cups are particularly indicated for patients with a high risk of dislocation and for patients over 65 years. Indications of the Novae® cup range differ according to the implant: Acetabular cups combining a “Novae® Stick” cup and a CI E Liner are intended for treatment of the following conditions: Osteoarthritis of the hip, fractures of the femoral neck, periacetabular metastatic disease, patients with a risk of instability (neurological, tumour, revision, dearthrodesis, cognitive issues, etc.) that could compromise the primary stability. Particularly recommended in cases of osteoporotic bone Osteonecrosis Dysplasia Can be used for rehabilitation after severe Paprosky type IIIA and IIIB acetabular destruction, by cementing the cup in a fixed acetabular cage. Can be used alone (without a fixed acetabular cage), when other acetabular cups are not appropriate. Surgical revision (including chronic dislocation, loosening) if the bone reconstruction allows, Paprosky type IIIA and IIIB bone defects.
