Indications for ASM Modular System (Stem)

ASM Modular System (Stem) is a versatile orthopedic implant designed for use in both hip and knee joint replacement procedures. It is indicated for patients who require:

• Primary Joint Replacement: Replacement of a damaged or diseased joint with an artificial joint.
• Revision Joint Replacement: Replacement of a previously implanted joint that has failed or become loose.
• Complex Anatomies: Patients with complex anatomical variations or deformities that may require a customized implant solution.
• Multiple Surgical Procedures: Patients who may require multiple surgical procedures or adjustments to the implant over time.
• Bone Loss or Osteoporosis: Patients with weakened bone tissue or osteoporosis may benefit from the modular design of ASM Modular System, which allows for adjustments to accommodate changes in bone structure.

How Does The ASM Modular System (Stem) Work

ASM Modular System (Stem) is a versatile orthopedic implant designed for use in both hip and knee joint replacement procedures. The system consists of various components, including a femoral stem, acetabular cup, and connecting components.

During surgery, the damaged joint is removed and replaced with the ASM Modular System. The surgeon selects the appropriate components based on the patient’s individual anatomy and surgical requirements. The femoral stem is inserted into the femur and secured in place using either cemented or press-fit fixation. The acetabular cup is then attached to the stem, providing a stable articulation for the femoral head.

The modular design of ASM Modular System allows for flexibility and customization, enabling surgeons to adjust the implant components as needed to achieve optimal fit and function. This can be particularly beneficial in cases of complex anatomies or revision surgeries. The biocompatible materials used in the system ensure minimal tissue reaction and long-term durability. Overall, ASM Modular System provides a reliable and adaptable solution for joint replacement, offering improved joint function, reduced pain, and enhanced patient outcomes.
