System Features

The Taperloc Complete Hip System has since become the industry standard in cementless hip arthroplasty.1 Combining unmatched clinical success with Zimmer Biomet’s commitment to product innovation, the Taperloc Complete Hip System has design enhancements that are intended to help surgeons restore leg length, stability, offset, and range of motion accurately and consistently. The Taperloc Complete Hip System comprises of the following femoral prosthesis offerings:

Taperloc Complete Femoral Stem

Features a reduced distal geometry in which a gradual reduction of the stem substrate occurs distal to the porous coating level

Taperloc Complete Microplasty® Femoral Stem

Features a reduced stem length from the standard length stem to better address minimally invasive techniques, providing an alternative to femoral resurfacing while offering a solution in cases where a bone conserving prosthesis is desirable

Taperloc Complete XR 123° Femoral Stem

Helps address femurs with a more varus neck by allowing for additional offset to properly restore hip biomechanics and soft tissue tensioning
