The Zimmer M/L Taper Hip Prosthesis is a product line from Zimmer Biomet, a company that specializes in orthopedic implants and devices. The M/L Taper Hip Prosthesis is used in hip replacement surgeries and consists of a femoral stem that is implanted into the patient's femur.
The "M/L 12/14 Taper" designation likely refers to the taper of the femoral stem, with 12/14 indicating the taper size. The "Standard Offset" specification suggests a standard offset design for the femoral stem. The offset refers to the distance between the center of the femoral head and the center of the femoral stem. Standard offset is a common configuration, but there are also variations such as high offset or low offset stems to accommodate different patient anatomies.
Key features and considerations for the Zimmer M/L Taper Hip Prosthesis may include:
Material: The femoral stem is typically made of biocompatible materials such as titanium or cobalt-chromium alloy.
Taper Design: The taper design facilitates the connection between the femoral stem and the femoral head component.
Modularity: Some hip prostheses, including those with taper connections, offer modularity, allowing surgeons to choose different head sizes and neck lengths to optimize patient fit.
Surgical Technique: Implantation involves removing the damaged part of the hip joint and replacing it with the prosthetic components.
Range of Motion: The design aims to provide stability, durability, and a suitable range of motion for the patient.
