The Corail stem has been in clinical use since the 1980s. It is a fully hydroxy-apatite coated (150 micron thickness) non-porous forged titanium alloy stem. The design includes a proximal trapexoidal cross section, intended to resist axial/torsional stresses and promote initial stability, and a...

The DeltaMotion bearing from Finsbury is a large ceramic-on-ceramic bearing system. Femoral head diameters range from 32 to 48mm, shell sizes from 42 to 66mm. This system is said to be suited to patients with smaller acetabulae who would benefit from a large diameter bearing. The ceramic...

The F3 fragment plating system from DePuy is a collection of titanium alloy locking plates which allow in-situ contouring, and are therefore suited to smaller bones in the distal extremities, particularly the foot and ankle. The plates come with preloaded drill guides (known as Fixed Angle Screw...

The Low Contact Stress (LCS) knee system from DePuy is a rotating platform knee replacement system, first implanted in 1977.  The device has a polished cobalt-chrome tibial tray into which the peg of the polyethylene tibial component is placed to allow rotation. There are antero-posterior...

The Mobility ankle replacement from DePuy is a three part ankle replacement system which includes a mobile bearing component. The tibial and talar components are cobalt chrome and have a Porocoat coating (DePuy’s proprietary coating). An ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene component...
