Minimally invasive femoral stem Hype® Mini

cementless

The Hype® range of femoral stem is a complete range of self locking stems dedicated to primary total hip arthroplasty. These stems have a 12/14 (5°43’) taper. A total of 9 stems are available, including two short stems, in standard and lateralised offsets (6 mm lateralisation compared with standard stems), and also two cemented stems. Characteristics : Stems are available in short and standard, cementless and cemented, collared and collarless versions. Homothetic size progression of stem collars (except for the coxa vara stem). 12/14 (5°43’’) taper which needs to be used with SERF “I”, “D”, or “C” heads with the same 12/14 taper. Materials : Femoral heads: “I” made from stainless steel and “D” made from Biolox® delta ceramic. INSTRUMENTS The same instrumentation set for all standard-length stems. Additional set for Hype® Mini stems. A wide choice of broach handles for the different approaches : posterior, posterolateral, anterior and anterolateral. INDICATIONS Hype® mini implants are more specifically indicated for anterior approaches or when the use of a shorter stem is more appropriate. Contraindications of Hype® stems are as follows : Acute or chronic local or systemic infection (cardiopathy, decompensated diabetes, continuous haemodialysis, reduced immune response, etc.). Severe muscular, neurological or vascular deficiencies affecting the extremity concerned. Bone destruction or loss, or poor bone quality likely to affect implant stability, severe osteoporosis, major deformity of the joint to be replaced, local bone tumours. All related conditions which could compromise the function or implanting of the prosthesis.
