EasyHip - Model E-6810 - Tapered Stems
For optimal results the surgery should be planned in advance using the appropriate templates. The templates are enlarged by a factor of 110%. The implant size should be choosen using good quality AP and ML radiographs with adequate contrast. Radiographs should include a full A/P (anterior/posterior) view of the pelvis, including the proximal one-half of both femurs and a lateral view of the proximal half of the affected femur
Choice of Stem size and Stem type
The Stem size is selected in a way that, in frontal plane, the outline fills as much of the proximal femoral metaphysis as possible. In the sagittal plane it must be ensured that the Stem is suited to the anterior bow of the femur.
The Stem is fixed proximally and therefore does not require a tight fit in the distal area. The size of the prosthesis should be chosen so that the center of rotation is correctly situated in the middle of the head at a level with the greater trochanter.
Anteversion must be checked in the sagittal plane. The Stem size and the level of resection of the femoral neck should be selected so that the tip of the greater trochanter is level with the center of the head of the prosthesis.
Lateralizing Stems are available to achieve an anatomical reconstruction, even when a high offset (+5 mm compared to standard Stem) is required.
