CORAIL® Hip System Design Rationale

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The CORAIL® Hip System is designed for minimally invasive hip surgery, emphasizing simplicity and bone preservation. It has been in use for over thirty years, with a focus on Hydroxylapatite (HA) coating to enhance orthopaedic outcomes.

Design Features
The system offers multiple offset options to restore hip biomechanics, a tapered neck geometry for increased range of motion, and a low-profile lateral shoulder for easy insertion. It is available in both collared and non-collared options, with step geometry to convert hoop stresses to compressive loads and grooves for rotational and axial stability.

Proven Fixation and Survivorship
The CORAIL Stem provides initial stability and has demonstrated long-term survivorship rates of 96.3% at 25 years and 93.7% at 30 years. The design includes proximal trapezoid and distal quadrangular cross-sections for stability without cortical contact.

Biomechanical Enhancements
Collared and collarless stem options are available, with high offset options adding +7mm of offset for a wider range of patients. The Coxa Vara High Offset option is available in a collared version only, offering increased offset and varus neck angle for femoral restoration.

Neck Enhancements
The system features narrowed anterior-posterior neck dimensions and an optimized ARTICUL/EZE Taper to increase range of motion and reduce mechanical impingement. The polished neck design minimizes wear debris.

Compaction Broaching Technique
This technique enhances bone/implant contact and pullout strength while preserving blood supply, promoting bone healing and growth. It is a key factor in the system's long-term success.

Surgical Technique
The surgical process involves four main steps: neck osteotomy, femoral canal preparation, offset selection and head trialing, and femoral component insertion.

Conclusion
The CORAIL Hip System, with its comprehensive design and proven track record, offers a reliable solution for various patient types, ensuring optimal hip biomechanics and long-term success.

CORAIL® Hip System Design Rationale-2

The Science of Simplicity “ he advanced features of the CORAIL® Stem, T and its bone-preserving surgical technique, have made it a great choice for minimally invasive hip surgery. More than thirty years ago, we began a revolution with the use of HA in orthopaedics. Today we face an exciting new era, and we look forward with confidence in sharing continued success with the world’s orthopaedic community.” ARTRO Group - Design Surgeon Team, Clinique d’Argonay International Visitation Centre - Annecy, France US Surgeon Team James Caillouette, MD; Charles R. Clark, MD; Mark Froimson, MD; Jonathan...

Proven Fixation The CORAIL Stem stepped geometry is oriented to reduce shear forces and improve compression loading in host cancellous bone. Proximal trapezoid cross section resists axial/torsional stresses and promotes initial stability. Distal quadrangular cross section provides rotational stability without cortical contact

Neck Enhancements Narrowed anterior-posterior neck dimensions and optimized ARTICUL/EZE Taper increase range of motion and reduce risk of mechanical impingement. ARTICUL/EZE 12/14 Taper is fully captured by all nonskirted ARTICUL/EZE Heads, eliminating the creation of a false skirt due to trunnion protrusion. Polished neck is designed to generate less wear debris secondary to prosthetic impingement. “I use the CORAIL because of its ease of implantation and long track record. Used with the PINNACLE® Acetabular Cup System, it lets me select multiple options in order to optimize hip biomechanics...

CORAIL® Hip System Design Rationale-8

Bone Preserving Philosophy Compaction Broaching A philosophy of respecting and preserving patient anatomy, biology and physiology are key to the CORAIL Stem success. Compressing and compacting the cancellous bone during the broaching process maintains the medullary canal endosteum, preserving blood supply to the bone and the bone/implant interface. Compaction broaching creates an excellent bone/implant contact ratio and high pullout strength, and it increases prosthetic torsional stability.3 Compaction broaching preserves the blood supply to promote healing and growth of bone around the implant,...

“Compaction broaching coupled with CORAIL creates ‘silent’ hip replacement. We haven’t seen any adverse, long-term radiographic changes.” James Caillouette, MD - Newport Beach, California “I find the CORAIL Stem and instrumentation facilitate ease of insertion using an anterior approach.” Joel Matta, MD - Los Angeles, Cali
