APEX ARC™ Neck Sparing Hip Replacements

The Apex ARC™: Hip Reconstruction Implant

The Apex ARC hip system provides surgeons with the bone conserving benefits of hip resurfacing without the disadvantages of metal-on-metal articulation, a steep learning curve, and limited indications.

Unlike hip resurfacing, the Apex ARC offers:

• Universal Technique: Can be used with any common orthopedic surgical approach, including direct anterior and MIS:

• Bearing Options: Offers surgeons multiple bearing surface options.

• Acetabular Access: Does not significantly impede preparation of the acetabulum.

• Range of Application: Can be used on a wide range of patients in terms of gender, anatomy, deformity and disease.

• Modular Pairing: Provides the surgeon with intra-operative versatility to restore joint mechanics through the use of modular necks and heads.

The Apex ARC™:  Unconventional, By Design

Like hip resurfacing, the Apex ARC conserves bone in the proximal femur making it a good choice for younger, more active patients.

The design of the Apex ARC hip stem requires less bone to be removed during surgery, provides the opportunity for surgeons to dissect fewer soft tissues, and loads the proximal femur in such as a way as to provide an environment where bone could be preserved over time.

The unique shape of the ARC is conducive to any surgical approach including the various minimally invasive approaches currently being used such as the direct anterior approach.
