IMPROVE VISUALIZATION, REDUCE COSTS
Radial Head Replacement System
The Radial Head Replacement System allows for direct and radiographic visualization of the radiocapitellar, proximal radio-ulnar, and ulno-humeral joints during trialing. Clear visualization with Radiolucent Trials ensures that the chosen implant allows for a degree of play within the radial neck, helping the implant remain centered during elbow motion. In addition, single-use instrumentation allows for efficiency and cost savings.1,2,3,4
Key Resources
ENSURE OPTIMAL PLACEMENT
Placement, Positioning, and Optimal Mechanics
- May enhance the implant’s ability to self-align and “dial in” when the elbow goes through a range of motion, and may articulate with the capitellum throughout the entire arc of motion2,3
- Are associated with less removal due to implant loosening than press-fit implants4-11
- Are designed for better visualization of proximal ulna and joint1
- Allow for in-situ height determination without repeated removal of trial stems1
