On Thursday, October 12, at 6:00 pm (EDT), Hackensack University Medical Center in Hackensack, NJ, will broadcast a live Zimmer MIS Posterior Approach Total Hip Replacement procedure on www.OR-Live.com featuring the Trabecular Metal™ Primary Femoral Stem and the Durom® Shell and Large Diameter Head System featuring Metasul® Metal-on-Metal Technology.
The Trabecular Metal Primary Femoral Stem is the first and only hip stem with Trabecular Metal material for an ingrowth surface. This exciting product combines the proven characteristics of Trabecular Metal Technology with stem design features that are designed to improve initial fixation, enhance rotational stability, improve proximal load transfer, resist subsidence and enhance potential for long-term biologic fixation.
The Durom Shell and Large Diameter Head System incorporates Metasul Metal-on-Metal Technology which is the result of in-depth research, development and clinical experience that began in 1988. The system's combined features help to restore the patient's true anatomy while offering exceptional range of motion, increased stability and decreased wear.
This Zimmer Minimally Invasive Solutions™ (MIS) Posterior Hip Procedure is designed to be one of the least invasive hip replacement procedures available today. This minimal incision surgical approach and the innovative instrumentation allow surgeons to confidently place the same, proven hip implants as a standard surgery while minimizing soft tissue trauma.
This activity is sponsored by The Zimmer Institute. This activity does not offer CME credit.
