Primary hip stems
The Profemur® line of primary hip stems has an established clinical history. Each Profemur® hip stem offers its own philosophy to provide fixation and replace bone anatomy.
Profemur® TL hip stem
Tapered wedge stem philosophy
Designed for primary hip replacement surgery, the Profemur® TL hip stem is a dual tapered wedge stem with a unique geometry. It features a reduced lateral shoulder convenient for tissue-sparing surgical techniques. Allowing for three point fixation, the stem is shaped to contact cortical bone medially and laterally, while conserving cancellous bone anteriorly and posteriorly. Plasma spray coating and anteroposterior taper allow contact in the frontal plane, while rotational stability is enhanced via distal grooves.
