ZMR® Hip System

Modular Design
Outstanding Intraoperative Flexibility

The ZMR Hip System is designed to provide exceptional intraoperative flexibility to meet the unpredictable demands of revision hip arthroplasty. The modular mid-stem junction allows the selection of a distal stem design independent of the proximal body design. This accommodates a wide variety of bone conditions that are often not revealed until the time of surgery. Some implants (ZMR XL options) are available with an extra large junction for patients whose bone may not provide adequate proximal support* with the standard junction components.

*For femurs with inadequate proximal support, the ZMR XL Hip System should be used in combination with proximal allograft struts or other adjunctive reinforcement techniques.

Version

The cone proximal body can be placed in any position relative to the distal stem to address various anatomic distortions that may be encountered. ZMR Bodies are designed to provide an opportunity for version adjustment.
