ESOP anatomical modular cementless stem
The ESOP femoral stem was developed in 1991 in order to match the shape of the femoral stem to the shape of the patient’s bone.
This stem has 2 components:
– a flared metaphyseal portion coated with hydroxyapatite,
– a diaphyseal portion made of anodised titanium.
Product line
The ESOP product line of anatomical modular cementless femoral stems consists of 10 metaphysis sizes for each side and 7 standard diaphysis lengths. This comprehensive set of implants provides 70 possible left and right combinations intra-operatively.
It is based on the principle of adapting the implant to the patient’s femur shape, and not the other way around.
Features and materials
The ESOP stem is made of titanium alloy (TA6V ELI).
The metaphyseal component has a hydroxyapatite coating and is available in 10 left sizes and 10 right sizes ranging from 5 to 20.
The offsets and neck lengths increase as a function of the size.
The cylindrical neck has a 12/14 taper for use with alumina ceramic femoral heads; the neck-shaft angle is 135°.
The diaphyseal component is made of anodised titanium alloy. There are 7 different sizes of the standard diaphyseal component ranging from 9 to 15 mm in diameter.
Instrumentation
The ESOP instrumentation can be used with all the standard surgical approaches. Rasp holders are available for the posterior and anterior routes.
