Medacta’s new SMS (Short Medacta Stem) Collared Stem, a minimally invasive solution, is now in full market release and completes the P-Family Hip System offering.
The SMS stem is a bone-preserving short femoral stem particularly indicated for patients with good bone quality and a narrow femoral canal. SMS’ optimized design, characterized by an anatomic shape and a distinctive curvature, has been engineered to easily position the implant according to modern muscle-sparing approaches, such as the AMIS technique.
The SMS femoral stem has been designed to address challenges of individual hip anatomy and biomechanics through the application of the MectaGrip coating on the stem surface, aimed at providing a mechanically stronger bone/implant interface, and through a progressive growth of the neck length, aimed at restoring the individual anatomy of the different patient population.
Following the release of the SMS stem in 2017, the new SMS Collared was recently introduced, featuring an optimized collar design with MectaGrip coating on the inferior surface. The optimized collar design further contributes to the axial and rotational stability of the stem, providing an additional element to potentially reduce the risk of stem subsidence. Both the collared and collarless versions are now available in Europe, the USA and Japan.
The P-Family Hip System comprises rectangular triple-tapered stems featuring three distinct design options: SMS, AMIStem-P and QUADRA-P. All P-Family stems are now available in both the collarless and collared options, providing versatility to the surgeon’s practice and allowing for a more personalized THA for the patient.
These stems were specifically designed for easier implantation when utilizing the unique and minimally invasive AMIS technique, and were developed incorporating proven innovative key features: performance, proximal coating, progressive necks, and patient matching.
