ECHELON
Product Description
Orthopedic reconstruction products for Hips
ECHELON revision hip implants are part of a family of femoral stems that address both Primary and Revision indications. With one set of instruments, a variety of stems can be implanted.
ECHELON Revision is designed with the goal of providing long-term, pain-free restoration of joint function and normal hip biomechanics.
- Cobalt Chrome: Allows for extensive porous coating of the stem.
- RoughCoat Coating- sintered bead porous coating allows for scratch fit and stresses the bone for bone in-growth.
- Hydroxyapatite – A 50-micron layer of hydroxyapatite is applied to the fully porous coated stem.
- Shoulder Relief – ECHELON Revision Hip System has a rounded shoulder, which eases insertion or extraction and reduces the risk of fracture of the greater trochanter.
- Coronal Slot – The slot reduces overall stem stiffness, which can mean less stress shielding, less thigh pain and less chance of fracturing the femur upon insertion.
- Distal Bullet Tip – The polished distal bullet tip is a smooth transition from the cylindrical portion of the stem which reduces the possibility of impingement or bone on-growth. Both impingement and bone on-growth are associated with thigh pain.
- Surgical Simplicity – A simple hip system makes surgery go smoother, saves OR time and therefore reduces costs for the surgeon and hospital. Only three instrument trays are needed.
- Osteoarthritis
- Avascular necrosis
- Traumatic arthritis
- Slipped capital epiphysis
- Fused hip
- Fracture of the pelvis and diastrophic variant.
- Fracture-dislocation of the hip
- Correction of deformity
