Product Overview
Tapered wedge stem philosophy
-Designed for primary hip replacement surgery, the
Profemur® TL2 hip stem is a dual tapered wedge stem
with an innovative geometry. It features a reduced
lateral shoulder convenient for tissue-sparing surgical
techniques. The Profemur(R) TL2 applies many of the
same philosophies as the Profemur(R) TL, but with the
added benefit of an optimized neck length and both
standard and high-offset options to allow for direct
lateralization. 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.
Design features
Tapered wedge geometry:
- Tapered both anteroposteriorly and mediolaterally.
Wider M/L dimension contacts cortical bone medially
and laterally, as the slim A/P dimension assists in
torsional stability and conserves bone
Rotational stability:
- In addition to slim A/P dimension, the distal groove
helps promote rotational stability by acting as a
cavity for bone apposition
Neck fixation:
- Neck length optimized for sizes 0-12 with each size
offering a standard and high-offset option at 133°
CCD, allowing for direct lateralization
Ease of stem Insertion:
- Facilitated by a reduced lateral shoulder, glass-
beaded distal texture, and a rounded distal tip that
minimizes point contact after implantation
Product options:
- Sizes 0–12
- Straight (133°) neck angle
- Standard and High Offset options
- Optimized neck line to seamlessly match the
resection plane to implant
