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
