Femoral Stems

In Latin, it’s the root of innovation. In orthopaedic surgery, it’s the ultimate goal. At Exactech, it’s a multi-faceted system of the most outstanding innovations in hip replacement. For the surgeon, Novation means stable reconstruction, with the best and brightest in bearing alternatives, for the widest range of anatomies. To the patient, it means a renewed outlook on life. A Masterfully Crafted Plan Low-Profile Instrumentation Stable Reconstruct

A Masterfully Crafted Plan Like the art of fine woodworking, the Novation® Comprehensive Hip System design began with the end in mind. Before launching into development, Exactech's engineers and design team surgeons established a comprehensive plan. Their goal: to provide a system of femoral stems, acetabular components and surgical instrumentation that would address a variety of situations encountered during primary total hip replacement. They let science be their guide and conducted an extensive research review to identify the best of the best in design and materials. These proven features...

Novation Tapered, Splined & Cemented Plus A The Novation® Comprehensive Hip System features both splined and tapered press-fit femoral stems as well as collared, matte finish cemented stems. All stems within the Novation high-demand, primary hip platform are available in standard and extended offset. Tapered stems rely on proximal fixation and three-point contact for initial stability. The dual-taper design, with a gradual taper in the M/L plane and a more rapid transition in the A/P plane, accommodates the anterior bow of the femur while providing the wedge effect needed for stability. Cemented...

Stable Reconstruction Novation femoral stems have been designed to enhance both initial and long-term stability of the implant within the femoral canal as well as provide options to ensure a stable construct within the joint capsule. Stability...in Motion As the major complication in total hip arthroplasty, many efforts are designed to reduce the incidence of dislocation. The Exactech signature neck cross-section is minimized on the medial aspect to increase range of motion, decreasing the chance of post-operative dislocation, while material on the lateral side is maintained for strength. A 131-degree...

(Core Femoral System) The Novation® CFS® Femoral Stems are designed to provide surgeons with excellent initial fixation and long-term stability when paired with the core instruments that support Novation Tapered and Splined preparation. This allows for simple preparation and utilization of the same instrumentation for both low- and high-demand stems. Novation CFS Universal Features Novation CFS Press-Fit (Sizes 9-18mm) Grit blast titanium surface designed to provide initial and longterm stability11 Trapezoidal cross-section to provide rotational stability, proximal fit and A/P fill12 Shortened...

Matte finish optimizes stem/cement interface12 Cobra flange reduces tensile cement stresses and enhances stem stability and cement performance12 Cement groove reduces tensile stresses in cement12 Medial calcar collar enhances cement pressurization and distributes stress in the bone and on the calcar12 Distal centralizer positions the stem centrally within the femoral canal resulting in an even cement mantle. Unipolar Design Advantages • Modular design • Five neck-length options: -3.5mm, +0mm, +3.5mm, +7mm, +10mm • Fully machined wrought cobalt...

The Novation® Element’s® tapered-wedge stem philosophy, combined with Exactech’s signature neck geometry, is designed to provide surgeons with excellent initial fixation and long-term stability paired with the Novation Element standard instrumentation or the Novation Element A+ Instrumentation™ for the direct anterior approach. A A 12/14 neck taper allows coupling with numerous bearing surfaces A. B Highly polished neck cross-section is minimized on the medial aspect B. to increase range of motion, decreasing the chance of post-operative dislocation, while material on the lateral side is maintained...

Low-Profile Instrumentation The Novation “Low Profile” family of instruments provides implant-specific tools to support the surgeon’s effort to minimize incision size, reduce soft tissue trauma and optimize patient outcomes. Unique instruments like the calcar planer with a replaceable blade ensure that the instrument is always sharp, providing easier preparation of the medial calcar. Novation A+ Instrumentation With intuitive instrumentation, the Novation A+ Instruments are designed to facilitate the muscle-sparing anterior approach in a wide range of patients. The Novation A+ Instruments include...
