17 To obtain good mechanical use of the hip joint, the deformed head should be reshaped or replaced, the twisted femoral neck corrected, and the acetabulum made adequate and aligned to the femoral ...

What Is the Acetabular Bearing System of Choice? Compelling scientific and clinical data suggest that we revisit our choice of acetabular-bearing components. Technological advancements in femoral ...

Once the joint capsule is exposed, it is incised from the base of the greater trochanter to 1 cm proximal to the acetabular rim. The femoral canal is then reamed and broached without dislocation. The ...

Jonathan Yerasimides of Louisville Hip & Knee Institute, performed the first patient cases using the Z1 System. "My first experience with the Z1 triple-taper femoral stem with the G7 Acetabular ...

The joint has increased mobility and laxity, within the acetabulum. External manipulations allow partial dislocation (subluxation) with some residual contact between the femoral head and acetabulum.
