The size and shape of the acetabulum and of the femoral head influence the injury tolerance of the hip joint. The aim of this study is to quantify changes in acetabular cup geometry that occur ...

17 To obtain good mechanical use of the hip joint, the deformed head should be reshaped or replaced, the twisted femoral neck corrected, and the acetabulum made adequate and aligned to the femoral ...

The joint has increased mobility and laxity, within the acetabulum. External manipulations allow partial dislocation (subluxation) with some residual contact between the femoral head and acetabulum.

Once the joint capsule is exposed, it is incised from the base of the greater trochanter to 1 cm proximal to the acetabular rim. The femoral canal is then reamed and broached without dislocation. The ...

"We are excited to share our robust hip portfolio, anchored by our new triple-taper femoral stem, Z1, and our well-established G7 Acetabular System," said Ivan Tornos, President and Chief ...

"My first experience with the Z1 triple-taper femoral stem with the G7 Acetabular System can be summarized as the easiest and most natural implantation I have experienced," said Dr. Otero.
