Arcos® Modular Femoral Revision System
Simplify the Complex
Zimmer Biomet’s Arcos Modular Femoral Revision System meets the demands of complex hip revision surgery by offering surgeons and OR staff the ability to tailor both the hip implant and its corresponding instruments.
Intraoperative Flexibility
- With three proximal bodies and five distal stems, which all work together regardless of size, a surgeon is able to address deficiencies in both regions of the femur independent of each other. This compatibility allows for a surgeon to change stems intraoperatively if encountered with another option from their preoperative planning. The availability of standard and high offset proximal body offerings are additional tools that allow the surgeon intraoperative flexibility to address patient needs as they arise.
Bolt and Claw Auxiliary Option
- The Arcos Modular Femoral Revision System has the ability to use auxiliary implants to reattach the trochanteric fragment directly to the implant. By reattaching the trochanteric fragment in this fashion, the soft tissue and bony fragment are stabilized and provide an additional level of stability.
Streamlined Instrumentation
- Designed with common proximal implant and instrument geometries, the Arcos Platform design is intended to allow for intraoperative revision efficiency by reducing the number of instrument cases required to a number comparable to a primary hip surgery.
Clinically Proven PPS® Coating
- Allows for initial scratch-fit stability and biologic fixation.2-9
Flexibility of Titanium
- Allows for stress transfer to preserve cortical density.10
Features
Three Proximal and Five Distal Geometry Options
- Providing surgeons 117 proximal/distal combinations and multiple auxiliary fixation options for various femoral defects. It is designed to offer surgeons and OR staff the surgical control, customization options, and reproducibility to efficiently address both patient and practice needs
One Simple, Easy to Use Instrumentation Platform
- Standard and High Offset Options - Designed to enable surgeons to reproduce various patient anatomies without lengthening the leg
- Consistent Sizing - 1 mm increments intended for increased O.R. efficiency and increased accuracy matching of the patient’s femur
- Roller-hardened Taper Junction Technology - For greater fatigue strength and three times more strength in cantilever beam testing than non-roller hardened tapers1
