Unique flexibility of sizing is provided with 2mm increments on the head which allows for 2 cup sizes for every head and 2 head sizes for every cup. Not only is this feature bone conserving, but it also assists with optimising the range of motion.
The critical features of the ADEPT system and technical rationale are based entirely on clinical history rather than short-term mechanical studies. The ADEPT metal-on-metal resurfacing system follows well established clinical history and has evolved from the Ring hip and Birmingham Hip Replacement.
The parallel stem inside the resurfacing head prevents cement migration into the femoral neck during impaction. The tapered section outside the head avoids intimate bone contact within the neck which reduces the risk of load transfer and stress shielding.
