Taperloc Cemenless Hip System ODEP Rating

Taperloc Complete Cemented ODEP ASSURE Rating.

Taperloc Microplasty ODEP Rating.

Taperloc Complete Reduced Distal ODEP Rating.

Helps enhance intra-operative flexibility by offering a cemented option within the same instrument platform.

Based upon the original Taperloc design that has been clinically proven in a variety of patient types.

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

A reduced stem length from the standard stem, designed 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.

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

Design built on the Taperloc stem (launched in 1983), the longest clinically referenced,, primary hip stem, with: 

  • Wedge shape 

  • Proximally circumferential titanium porous plasma sprayed design 

  • Titanium substrate 

  • CoCrMo Alloy with smooth satin finish for the Cemented version

Designed to treat a wide range of patient anatomies:

  • Full Length 

  • Reduced Distal 

  • Microplasty (35 mm length reduction)

  • XR123 Coxa Vara

  • Cemented version NOW available

1mm increments are designed to provide optimal interchangeability, OR efficiency, and accurate matching of the patient's femur without the need to remove additional bone.

  • Primary Hip Arthroplasty

  • Cementless stem with press fit

  • Cemented Line-to-Line

  • Original Tapered Wedge
