Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Quadra System leaflet by Medacta International outlines the features and benefits of the Quadra System, a range of hip replacement stems designed for use with the Anterior Minimally Invasive Surgery (AMIS) approach. This technique minimizes damage to periarticular structures and is supported by Medacta's comprehensive educational programs.

AMIS Synergy Instrumentation
The AMIS approach is highlighted as a definitive minimally invasive surgery (MIS) technique. Key components include dedicated AMIS instrumentation and the AMIS Mobile Leg Positioner, which facilitates easier and reproducible surgeries. The educational program supports surgeons in mastering this approach.

Instrumentation Features
  • One tray accommodates Quadra-S, Quadra-H, and Quadra-C stems.
  • Standard and lateralized trial necks fit broaches for precise trial reduction.
  • Manual and motorized broach handles are available, with offset options for different inclinations.
  • High-quality sharp broaches ensure precise medullary cavity preparation.
  • Monoblock motorized broaches are available for femoral stem trials.


Materials and Surface Treatments
  • Quadra-S and Quadra-H are made from a niobium-titanium alloy, while Quadra-C is made from high nitrogen stainless steel.
  • Quadra-S features a sand-blasted surface for osteointegration, while Quadra-H has an 80 μm thick HA coating for long-term fixation.
  • Quadra-C has a mirror-polished surface for cement interaction.


Product Range
  • Quadra-S and Quadra-H: 11 standard sizes with a 135° neck-shaft angle and 7 lateralized sizes with a 127° angle.
  • Quadra-C: 8 standard sizes with a 135° neck-shaft angle.
  • Quadra-R: 10 sizes with a 127° neck-shaft angle, designed for revision purposes.


Design and Stability
  • The stems feature a triple taper with a trapezoidal cross-section for axial and rotational stability.
  • Different neck offsets are available to match patient joint geometry, with a mirror-polished rounded neck to minimize wear.
  • Horizontal and vertical macrostructures increase contact surface area and stability.
  • The distal tip is double tapered to reduce stress peaks.


Clinical Success
Since 2003, the Quadra System has been a reliable solution for hip arthroplasty, with a 100% survival rate at 5 years reported in a clinical study by Balgrist University.

REDEFINING THR: THE AMIS SYNERGY ■ One tray to implant Quadra-S, Quadra-H, Quadra-C*. ■ Both standard and lateralised trial necks fit on to the broaches for quick and precise trial reduction. ■ Reliable practical manual and motorised broach handles. ■ Offset broach handles available in left and right versions for motorised and manual use with 2 different inclinations: The anterior approach, consolidated 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. Q U A D R A S Y S T E M A COMPLETE RANGE OF STRAIGHT STEMS 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 specialised instrumentation platform. ■ High quality sharp broaches for precise preparation of the medullary cavity. ■ Monoblock motorised broaches option for use with femoral stem trials. ■ Dedicated AMIS instrumentation. When you use the Quadra System, you enter the Medacta International world of AMIS. ■ The definitive MIS approach: AMIS; ■ Dedicated AMIS instrumentation; ■ The AMIS Mobile Leg Positioner: the original extension table included as part of the instrumentation, which makes surgery easier and reproducible; * Quadra-R instrumentation requires a different tray for dedicated broaches and trial necks. ■ The AMIS Education Programme based on Medacta’s proven educational methods. The AMIS Mobile Leg Positioner will be supplied as part of the instrumentation to help ensure effective and reliable positioning of the leg during surgery. Traction, adduction and hyperextension have never been so easy. REFERENCES [1] Moreau P. Cementless HA coated Quadra® stem - 7 Years Clinical Outcomes. MORE Journal, 2012 Jan; 2:3-6.
