THE MODULUS STEM

Description
The MODULUS stem enables complex hip replacements to be treated simply, based on the concept that the anatomy should not have to adapt to the implant but rather the implant must adapt to the patient’s anatomical abnormality.
The modularity of the implant offers the versatility required to create custom-made implants intra-operatively and restore biomechanical parameters, so as to achieve the best functional outcome for the patient, irregardless of the situation.
The standard and lateralising modular metaphyseal necks come in a range of angles and lengths, offering the freedom to choose the best anteversion on retroversion, as well as the ideal offset whatever the length of the femoral implant.
Based on the Wagner implant, the 5° finned stem taper ensures optimal fixation across a wide range of femoral morphologies.

Indications
The MODULUS stem is ideal in femoral deformities associated with hip dysplasia, anatomies altered by previous surgeries such as femoral osteotomies, trauma, secondary osteoarthritis, coxa vara and coxa valga.
In such cases, correcting the deformity, restoring the centre of rotation, adjusting muscle tension and respecting leg length all contribute towards rapid functional recovery.

 

The successful 5-year clinical follow-up results can be attributed to the rationale behind the tapered fixation, the optimised engineering parameters of the prosthetic system and the possibility of combining the stem with any tribological coupling.
