Actera uses a tri-taper femur system stem for direct anterior approach total hip replacements, according to a company news release. The system aims to facilitate a minimally invasive approach with easier access to the femur and less injury to muscles.
“Surgeons have demonstrated a significant and growing preference for anterior total hip arthroplasty surgeries in recent years, and the innovative tri-taper stem is designed for easier placement,” Conformis CEO Mark Augusti said in the release. “Peer-reviewed studies provide an increasing body of evidence that a tri-taper stem supports improved proximal load transfer and lower likelihood of implant loosening.”
The system will be introduced in the U.S. as a limited release.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
