Description

From Which Medical Device

The Discovery® Elbow System from Biomet comprises an elbow arthroplasty with the following features:

  • an anatomic humeral stem with a 5 degree lateral offset and 5 degrees of internal rotation, and an anterior flange
  • a lateral bow in the ulnar stem to reproduce anatomy
  • a spherical hinge which can be assembled from a posterior approach, and uses Biomet's ArCom® polyethylene. 

The elbow articulation is minimally constrained, permitting varus/valgus laxity of 7 degrees. Both components are cemented.
