• Over 50,000 implanted1
• Independently studied: non-design team JBJS study from Oulu,
Finland concludes that smooth stems and cemented bipolar
designs should be considered superior to press-fit prosthesis2
• Smooth stem implant designs supported by two long term
studies (12-year3
and 8-year4
average follow up)
• Prospective data shows proven performance in two-year
outcomes5
• Press-fit ingrowth designs have been shown to experience
symptomatic loosening6
• Smooth stem design avoids ingrowth, and thereby avoids
the need for a tight fit in fractured bone
• Smooth stem design allows for dynamic adjustment, a
biomechanical design rationale chosen because
