For all different stem types of the LCU Hip System the same set of instruments is used, which allows for intraoperative flexibility.

Two offset types allow for adaption to the patient’s anatomy ²:

• Standard type with a CCD angle of 130º
• Lateralizing type with a CCD angle of 125º

The stability of the implant is additionally enhanced by the characteristic metaphyseal V-shape, while the rectangular cross-section neutralizes torsional forces.^{5, 6, 8}

• Meta-diaphyseal support and fixation provided by a large medial curvature with a 100 mm radius for anatomical adaptation. For the cementless version, this is the prerequisite for primary and secondary stability.

The flat, tapered prosthesis neck allows a large range of motion between prosthesis stem and acetabular cup.²
The 12/14 mm taper is designed for the use of modular LINK prosthesis heads made of ceramic or metal with various lengths and diameters.

Furthermore, the highly polished neck region reduces abrasion in the event of unintentional contact with the acetabular cup.⁹

Cementless Version

• The stem is made from Tilastan-S (Ti6Al4V).

• The micro-roughness of the metal surface is created by corundum-blasting, which produces an even and uniform surface structure with pore sizes and roughness values for osseointegration.^{2, 3}

• The HX coating with a thickness of 20 +/- 10 µm is applied by LEP (LINK Electrochemical Process) to the entire length of the prosthesis, and promotes bone ongrowth.⁴

• The horizontal ribs in the proximal section of the stem serve to counteract subsidence of the stem and to promote primary stability. The distal region has vertical ribs to counteract the rotational forces.⁷

Cemented Version

• The stem is made from our EndoDur-S (CoCrMo alloy).

• It can be operated with the same broaches as the cementless version allowing for intraoperatively flexibility.

• The stem is highly polished to reduce the risk of cement abrasion.¹⁰
