Modular Indexable Neck Cemented Stem

R-120™ Modular Indexable Neck Cemented Stem for Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA)

The stem is designed to use standard conventional cementing techniques. The shape of the stem is trapezoidal and along with a proportionally designed collar provides for optimal impaction and compression of bone cement. In addition, a teardrop shaped recess on the anterior and posterior portion of the implant increases the cement to prosthesis interface therefore increasing resistance to axial and torsional forces
