UTF™

Reduced hip stem

The UTF™ stem designed by UNITED ORTHOPEDIC CORPORATION is a self-locking, conical, quadrangular, cement-free stem, partly distally tapered
The design promotes maximum joint stability, while the complete instrumentation system responds to the different approaches used by surgeons.

Description

  • 14 sizes, 125mm to 161 mm in length
  • Titanium alloy
  • Proximal press-fit +0.5mm on each side (titanium plasma spray)
  • 12/14 Morse taper
  • 130° CCD angle
  • Standard and high offset range

Features

  • Rectangular section: rotationally stable

  • Dual taper: axial stability (depression)

  • Proximal press-fit: prevents penetration
  • refined proximal width in 1 to 2 mm increments depending on size: progressive and precise adjustments

  • Reduced distal width M/L: prevents excessive distal replacement to reduce the risk of stress-shielding

  • Standard and lateralised neck (High Offset): improves joint stability
  • the HO (High Offset) is lateralised without lengthening the limb (from 6 to 8mm depending on the size)

  • Optimised neck geometry to promote range of motion (ROM) and delay neck/cupula contact (impingement)

  • Curved end: facilitates implantation irrespective of approach

Instrumentation

  • Straight rasp holders, with offset and double offset to enable use with all approaches
