Advances in endoprosthetics have enabled patients with hip joint diseases to significantly improve their quality of life. optimys short shaft and the vitamys monoblock cup stand out among the latest developments . These implants set new standards in terms of functionality, longevity and freedom from complications. Combined with minimally invasive approaches such as the AMIS or ALMIS method , they achieve the lowest revision rates and complications worldwide.

What makes the optimys shaft so special?

The optimys short stem differs from traditional hip stems in its minimalist design, which allows for maximum bone protection and optimal anatomical adjustment.

Advantages of the optimys short shaft:

• Bone protection: The shaft requires less resection of the femur and preserves natural structures.
• Optimal force transfer: The three-dimensional geometry guarantees harmonious load transfer between implant and bone.
• Outstanding long-term results: International endoprosthesis registers show that the optimys short stem impresses with particularly low revision rates.

The vitamys monoblock pan: biocompatibility and stability in perfection

The vitamys monoblock cup uses state-of-the-art polymer technology that is characterized by outstanding biocompatibility, wear resistance and stability.

Special features of the vitamys pan:

• Monoblock design: Elimination of screws and modularity reduces potential complications.
• Thin titanium dust coating: Avoids a bulky and rigid metal shell.
• Isoelasticity: The implant transmits force similar to bone, allowing long-term bone preservation around the implant.
• Extremely low wear behavior: Studies show a significant reduction in abrasion compared to conventional pan systems.
• High primary stability: The press-fit mechanism ensures a secure hold and problem-free ingrowth.

Results from international endoprosthesis registries

Endoprosthesis registries worldwide provide crucial insights into the long-term results of various implants.

The revision rates in comparison:

• According to the German Endoprosthesis Register (EPRD), the combination of optimys and vitamys has the lowest revision rate of all implant systems tested.
• The Australian Orthopedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry highlights its outstanding stability and minimal aseptic loosening rate.

Main reasons for superiority:

1. Excellent design: The anatomically tailored design reduces stress peaks and improves bone integration.
2. Minimally invasive approaches: With AMIS or ALMIS, the soft tissue is spared, resulting in faster recovery times.
3. Material innovation: The polymer technology of the vitamys pan is the main reason for the lowest abrasion problems.

Minimally invasive techniques: AMIS and ALMIS in focus

The combination of state-of-the-art implants with minimally invasive access techniques such as AMIS (anterior minimally invasive surgery) or ALMIS (anterolateral minimally invasive surgery) makes joint replacement even more gentle.

Advantages of minimally invasive approaches:

• Reduced muscle trauma: Muscles and tendons remain largely intact, allowing function to recover more quickly.
• Lower blood loss: Protecting soft tissue structures minimizes intraoperative complications.
• Shorter rehabilitation time: Patients are mobile more quickly and benefit from improved recovery.

Short-stem prostheses: The future of hip arthroplasty

The use of short-shaft prostheses sets new standards in endoprosthetics. Thanks to their natural fit, they are particularly suitable for younger, active patients. The optimys shaft is one of the most successful short shafts.

Why short-stem prostheses?

Short-shaft prostheses offer numerous advantages over conventional implants. They enable better bone preservation, which is particularly important in younger patients. Due to the natural power transfer to the femur, the prosthesis feels more stable and natural, resulting in higher patient satisfaction. In addition, the minimally invasive design facilitates both implantation and possible revision surgery should this become necessary in the future. This combination of functionality, protection of the surrounding tissue and long-term prospects makes short-stem prostheses a preferred choice in modern endoprosthetics.

Conclusion: future-oriented hip implants

The combination of optimys short shaft and vitamys monoblock cup sets new standards in hip arthroplasty. Their unique advantages, coupled with minimally invasive surgical techniques, guarantee patients the best results. This modern combination represents the future of endoprosthetics – with maximum comfort, minimal risks and outstanding longevity.
