The VerSys CRC Hip System is indicated for total hip arthroplasty in patients whose bone stock is of poor quality or inadequate for other reconstruction techniques as indicated by deficiencies of the femoral head, neck, or portions of the proximal femur. Arthroplasty should be performed only when more conservative methods of treatment have failed to provide symptomatic relief and when there is progressive disability.

A collar at the base of the neck has two screw holes for attaching the build-up block to the stem. Holes along the proximal portion of the stem may be used for soft tissue attachment. modular connection of the femoral stem is a Morse-type 12/14 taper designed to mate with the corresponding bore of a femoral head component.
