Taperloc

Combining unmatched clinical success with Biometa s commitment to product innovation.

Over the past 26 years, the TaperlocAR Hip System has become the industry standard in cementless hip arthroplasty. Combining this unmatched clinical success with Biometa s commitment to product innovation, the TaperlocAR Complete Hip System has been introduced with design enhancements that include a 133A neck angle, extended anterior-posterior neck flats, smoothed distal transition and a polished neck. These enhancements, along with the key clinical aspects of the original TaperlocAR hip stem, are designed to help surgeons restore leg length, stability, offset and range of motion accurately and consistently.

a cDesign built upon the TaperlocAR stem (launched in 1982) which is the longest clinically referenced primary hip stem with a wedge shape, titanium substrate and proximally circumferential titanium porous plasma sprayed design
a cSimple broach-only surgical technique and simple instrumentation that can be used with a variety of surgical approaches
a cOptimal 133A neck angle increases ROM, improve stability through increased soft tissue tension and allows for more use of standard and modular head options for a better reproduction of hip biomechanics
a cPolished anterior-posterior neck flats increase ROM by geometrically reducing the potential for impingement of the neck with the cup
a cClinically proven PPSAR coating allows for initial scratch-fit stability and bone fixation
