Here are five observations:
1. The UTS hips system features a tapered wedge short stem for less invasive primary hip replacement procedures.
2. Short stems are designed to preserve bone, which allows for better outcomes in future revisions.
3. United Orthopedic is offering the UTS hip stem in 14 refined proximal sizes. It comprises standard and high offset options for restoring joint biomechanics and a reduced lateral shoulder designed to conserve bone in the greater trochanter.
4. The U-Motion II Acetabular System extension is for total hip replacement. It includes a 50 millimeter acetabular cup and cup liner that is compatible with the company’s 63 millimeter Biolox and CoCrMo metal femoral heads.
5. The company designed the acetabular cup to promote a greater range of motion, increase jumping distance, improve stability and lower dislocation risk.
