REDEFINING THR: THE AMIS SYNERGY The anterior approach, proven by years of clinical experience, is the only technique that follows an intermuscular and internervous path and therefore lowers the risk of damaging periarticular structures such as muscles, tendons, vessels and nerves. Medacta International is the world leader for educating and supporting surgeons in their pursuit of Anterior Minimally Invasive Surgery (AMIS). Reference Centers around the world provide the necessary AMIS education experience and Medacta offers continuous support for surgeons, as well as constantly improving and developing the industry’s most specialized instrumentation platform. When you use the MiniMAX, you enter the Medacta International world of AMIS. Discover: ■ The definitive MIS approach: AMIS ■ Dedicated AMIS instrumentation ■ The AMIS Mobile Leg Positioner: the original extension table included as part of the AMIS instrumentation, making surgery easier and reproducible ■ The AMIS Education Program based on Medacta’s proven educational methods The AMIS Mobile Leg Positioner will be supplied as part of the AMIS instrumentation system to help ensure effective and reliable positioning of the leg during surgery. Traction, adduction and hyperextension have never been so easy. AMIS & MINIMAX ■ Thanks to its curved shape both in the sagittal and in the frontal planes, MiniMAX is easier to insert through a minimal access ■ The length of the stem is ideal for a minimally invasive approach ■ The tip is useful to facilitate the insertion of the stem Brochure Joint REFERENCES [1] Noble PC, Alexander JW et al.

T H E N AT U R A L F I T MINIMAX: CEMENTLESS ANATOMICAL STEM DESIGN NECK ■ 9° anteversion ■ Mirror polished with 12/14 Eurocone taper ■ Growing size by size to restore anatomy The philosophy of anatomical stems was introduced into the market during the 1980’s with the aim to obtain the best press-fit in the metaphyseal femur using a design following the natural geometry of the proximal femur. The MiniMAX is an anatomical cementless stem engineered to provide the best fit and fill in the metaphyseal femur following the natural shape of the femoral canal[1,2]. The length of the stem and the...
