Product Overview
The concept of tapered wedge femoral stems has been shown to provide excellent implant stability in short term, mid term and long term clinical studies.
The MasterLoc Hip System follows this philosophy, presenting a novel proximal coating - Mectagrip, designed for initial stability and long term fixation. With an optimized design, the MasterLoc Hip System is suitable for all MIS procedures, especially the AMIS approach.
Progressive triple offset
The MasterLoc Hip System offers a unique progressive triple offset, which allows for an easier and more effective management of the patient’s femoral offset, completely independent from the leg length. This MasterLoc Hip System distinctive offer helps achieving good restoration of the hip joint biomechanics in nearly all patient populations.
Mectagrip Coating
A coating treatment consisting of a layer of commercially pure titanium, deposited through Vacuum Plasma Spray technique (VPS). This method offers a high friction coefficient for enhanced initial stability, and the potential for long term fixation thanks to a carefully chosen porosity: open pores with pore dimensions between 100-350μm, and a continuous interconnectivity.
AMIS Friendly Design
The MasterLoc Hip System is designed to accommodate all MIS techniques. The instruments and implants have been specifically designed to reduce the risk of damaging soft tissues when utilizing MIS procedures, in particular the AMIS approach.
Simple and reproducible broach only technique
Tapered wedge design with a distally reduced shape
This design philosophy seeks to allow the implant to self-seat within the femoral canal, achieving enhanced mediolateral stability. Applying modern advancements to promote bone preservation, the MasterLoc Hip System features a reduced distal geometry and stem length. These features have been introduced to enhance implant fit in the metaphysis while also enhancing performance in Dorr type A, B and C femoral canals. These advances may help prevent unexpected distal fixation and other fit issues demonstrated by early flat, tapered wedge hip systems. (http://www.medacta.us.com/US/home-med-pro-us)
