Proper offset and leg-length restoration improve total hip
replacement function and minimize the risk of dislocation and
limp.1,2 For traditional hip systems, leg length and offset
are coupled and surgeons are often forced to accept the coincidental
change in leg length or offset when making changes intraoperatively
(ie, when simply changing the head). The Zimmer M/L Taper Hip
Prosthesis with Kinectiv Technology allows surgeons to independently
adjust leg length and offset intraoperatively after stem implantation
to optimize each dimensional factor without affecting the other.
The Zimmer M/L Taper Hip with Kinectiv Technology also allows
independent version adjustments after stem implantation. This
facilitates optimal stem position based on the patient’s proximal
femoral anatomy while restoring head center position.
