Arcos modular revision hip system bullet tip distal stem - Press-fit hip femur prosthesis, modular

Intended purpose

Porous coated titanium alloy bullet tip distal femoral stem intended for use as one component of the Arcos modular revision hip system. Indications for use: Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis; rheumatoid arthritis; correction of functional deformity; treatment of non-union, femoral neck fracture, and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement, unmanageable using other techniques; revision of previously failed total hip arthroplasties. Intended for uncemented use only.

Functional description

The bullet-tip distal femoral stem design is fully PPS coated with a polished bullet-shaped distal tip that provides a gradual separation from the cortex to reduce distal stresses. Titanium alloy PPS coated; intended for uncemented use. 115MM stem is straight; 150, 200, 250MM stems are bowed. Packaged with locking screw. Used with Biomet Type 1 taper modular heads and compatible acetabular shells/liners and screws
