“ROUND THE CORNER” TECHNIQUE USING SHORT SHAFT
THE MUSCLES CAN BE BETTER PROTECTED
THE RESULT OFTEN IS EXCELLENT FUNCTIONALITY
Short-stem prostheses have become increasingly popular in recent years. The implantation of a short-stem prosthesis aims to preserve the bone and create favorable conditions for revision without changing the basic concepts of conventional hip arthroplasty.
Short-stem prostheses were developed decades ago to ensure an implantation approach that was gentle on bone and soft tissue; innovations and modifications have come onto the market in recent years
The concept of modern calcar-guided short-stem prostheses in hip arthroplasty aims at the precise reconstruction of the individual, anatomical hip geometry.
An implantation technique that is gentle on the bones and soft tissue used in conjunction with physiological loading in the part of the femur near the joint in order to preserve the bone in the long term.
The short and round stems fit perfectly with the
minimally invasive ALMIS APPROACH ; damage to the muscles is not necessary.
Unlike conventional straight stems, implantation is achieved using the “round the corner” technique.

A BIG DIFFERENCE FROM CONVENTIONAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY IS THE POSSIBILITY OF INDIVIDUAL IMPLANTATION OF A CALCAR-GUIDED SHORT STEM PROSTHESIS.
YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THIS WELL IN THIS VIDEO.
BECAUSE THE IMPLANTATION PHILOSOPHY IS DIFFERENT FROM CONVENTIONAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY, YOU SHOULD CONSULT A SHORT STEM EXPERT .
