Intended purpose
The Summit Stem (Duofix)is the femoral component used during Total hip arthroplasty in patients where there is evidence of sufficient sound bone to seat and support the component.
Functional description
This sterile device replaces the femoral stem during total hip arthroplasty. It is coated in absorbable hydroxyapatite which aids in the bony ingrowth thereby increasing the fixation of the stem into the femur. This stem is intended for cementless use only.
