DELTA Classic™ Stem (132º Neck shaft angle)

Key Features and Benefits of DELTA Classic Stem (132º Neck Shaft Angle)

DELTA Classic Stem (132º Neck Shaft Angle) is a specialized orthopedic implant designed for use in hip joint replacement procedures. This stem features a 132-degree neck shaft angle, which has been shown to improve joint stability and reduce the risk of dislocation. The stem is typically secured in place using bone cement, creating a strong and durable bond between the implant and the surrounding bone. The stem is available in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different patient anatomies and surgical requirements. The biocompatible materials used in the stem ensure minimal tissue reaction and long-term durability. Overall, DELTA Classic Stem offers a reliable and effective solution for hip joint replacement, providing improved joint function, reduced pain, and enhanced patient outcomes.

Indications for DELTA Classic Stem (132º Neck Shaft Angle)

DELTA Classic Stem (132º Neck Shaft Angle) is a specialized orthopedic implant designed for use in hip joint replacement procedures. It is indicated for patients who require:

• Primary Hip Replacement: Replacement of a damaged or diseased hip joint with an artificial joint.
• Revision Hip Replacement: Replacement of a previously implanted hip joint that has failed or become loose.
• Osteoarthritis: Degenerative joint disease that causes pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
• Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune disease that causes inflammation and damage to the joints.
• Trauma-related Hip Joint Damage: Damage to the hip joint caused by injuries or accidents.

How Does The DELTA Classic Stem (132º Neck Shaft Angle) Work

DELTA Classic Stem (132º Neck Shaft Angle) is a specialized orthopedic implant designed for use in hip joint replacement procedures. The stem is inserted into the femur, the thigh bone, and is secured in place using bone cement. The 132-degree neck shaft angle is a key feature of this implant, as it helps to optimize the biomechanics of the hip joint.

The 132º neck shaft angle provides enhanced stability and reduces the risk of dislocation by aligning the femoral head more appropriately within the acetabulum, the socket-shaped part of the pelvis. This improved alignment can help to prevent excessive stress on the joint components and reduce the likelihood of implant loosening or wear.

DELTA Classic Stem is available in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different patient anatomies and surgical requirements. The stem is made from biocompatible materials and is designed to integrate seamlessly with the surrounding bone tissue, promoting healing and long-term durability.
