DESIGN RATIONALE
Inspired by the clinically proven design profile of the
original dual-tapered stem, the APEX K2 MODULARTM
Hip System builds on the philosophy of a dual-tapered
trapezoidal stem geometry that facilitates primary fixation
and rotational stability. A straightforward and
efficient broach-only surgical technique is intended to
preserve endosteal bone and intramedullary vascularization.
Unlike traditional dual-tapered stem designs, the
APEX K2 MODULARTM stem allows the surgeon complete
intra-operative versatility with the ability to
independently select the appropriate stem, neck and
head configuration based on individual patient anatomy.
The patented Dual PressTM technology allows the
modular neck to fully seat against the proximal surface
of the stem, without compromising final implant
strength or structural integrity.
Combined with simple surgical instrumentation that
accommodates varying surgical approaches, the
APEX K2 MODULARTM Hip System is engineered to
provide surgeons an optimal solution when restoring
joint mechanics in primary hip arthroplasty.
