Femoral hip stems
The Profemur® line of hip stems provide the broadest range of philosophies, allowing for flexibility in both fixation and bone anatomy.
Profemur TL
Femurs vary greatly from patient to patient: overall size, canal shape, neck angle and bone quality are variables the surgeon must consider when selecting the appropriate stem. The Profemur® line of primary and revision hip stems are designed for intra-operative flexibility, allowing for one set of instruments for multiple stems.
Each Profemur® hip stem is designed in line with an established stem philosophy, incorporating features that have been in the market for several years and improving on those features with proven materials and instrumentation. The Profemur® line of Hip Stems gives a surgeon access to the broadest range of philosophies along with a clinically established product line.
