Taperloc Complete Standard
Taperloc Complete Microplasty
Group one will receive a total hip replacement with Taperloc Complete Standard. Taperloc Complete Standard is designed after the philosophy of a flat tapered wedge. It has evolved to incorporate the Reduced Distal and Microplasty stems to better address all patient anatomies, and facilitate multiple surgical techniques.
Group one will receive a total hip replacement with Taperloc Complete Microplasty.Taperloc Complete Microplsty cementless stem is designed to transmit load to the proximal femur, thereby preserving bone density, and preventing long term instability and loosening secondary to proximal bone resorption.
