Arlington, Tenn.-based MicroPort Orthopedics Inc. has released the Profemur Preserve hip stem, a short stem designed to support today’s growing market of bone and tissue preserving surgical techniques.
“As physicians evaluate the landscape of short stems, Profemur Preserve is attractively positioned to capture market share,” said Patrick Gregory, hip product manager for MicroPort Orthopedics.
Short stems have grown in popularity as physicians give additional consideration to tissue-friendly approaches and ongoing care for a younger patient population, the company notes. Shorter stems preserve bone, which facilitates future revisions through a wider range of treatment options.
The Preserve classic hip stem was designed to maximize head center coverage in order to provide an optimized stem with virtually no technique learning curve. Preserve mlassic and Preserve modular are part of MicroPort Orthopedics’ Simply Versatile platform which is meant to allow surgeons the flexibility of using classic and modular stems utilizing the same surgical technique with a common set of instruments.
“Managing [operating room] flow and consistency are central initiatives for MicroPort Orthopedics as we bring new products to the market,” said Gregory.
Phillip Merritt, M.D., direct anterior approach specialist in Glendale, Calif., is performing the first two hip replacement surgeries with Profemur Preserve.
