3D SEE® Trabecular Acetabular Cup (Revision)

Key Features and Benefits of 3D SEE Trabecular Acetabular Cup (DDH/Standard)

3D SEE Trabecular Acetabular Cup is a specialized orthopedic implant designed for use in hip joint replacement procedures, particularly in cases of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). This innovative cup features a unique 3D printed trabecular structure that mimics the natural bone architecture, promoting bone ingrowth and fixation. The porous structure of the cup allows for direct bone-to-implant contact, enhancing stability and reducing the risk of implant loosening. The cup is available in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different patient anatomies and surgical requirements. The biocompatible materials used in the cup ensure minimal tissue reaction and long-term durability. Overall, 3D SEE Trabecular Acetabular Cup offers a promising solution for hip joint replacement, particularly in challenging cases such as DDH. It provides enhanced stability, bone ingrowth, and long-term durability, leading to improved patient outcomes.

Indications for 3D SEE Trabecular Acetabular Cup (DDH/Standard)

3D SEE Trabecular Acetabular Cup is a specialized orthopedic implant designed for use in hip joint replacement procedures, particularly in cases of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). It is indicated for patients who:

• Have developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH): This condition occurs when the hip joint is not formed correctly at birth or develops abnormally in childhood.
• Require a hip joint replacement: Due to severe arthritis, trauma, or other conditions that have damaged the hip joint.
• Have a history of implant failure: If a previous hip joint replacement has failed or become loose.
• Have bone loss or osteoporosis: The 3D printed trabecular structure of the cup can promote bone ingrowth and fixation in patients with weakened bone.
• Have challenging anatomies: The cup’s customizable design allows it to accommodate a variety of patient anatomies, including those with complex deformities or bone defects.

How Does The 3D SEE Trabecular Acetabular Cup (DDH/Standard) Work

3D SEE Trabecular Acetabular Cup is a specialized orthopedic implant designed for use in hip joint replacement procedures, particularly in cases of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Its unique 3D printed trabecular structure mimics the natural bone architecture, promoting bone ingrowth and fixation.

During surgery, the damaged hip joint is removed and replaced with an artificial joint consisting of a femoral stem and the 3D SEE Trabecular Acetabular Cup. The cup is securely fixed in the acetabulum, the socket-shaped part of the pelvis, using either cement or a press-fit technique.

The 3D printed trabecular structure of the cup provides a porous surface that encourages bone cells to grow and penetrate into the implant. This bone-to-implant contact enhances stability and reduces the risk of implant loosening. The biocompatible materials used in the cup ensure minimal tissue reaction and promote long-term durability.

Overall, 3D SEE Trabecular Acetabular Cup offers a promising solution for hip joint replacement, particularly in challenging cases such as DDH. By promoting bone ingrowth and fixation, the cup can provide enhanced stability, durability, and improved patient outcomes.
