Leading Technology
During a joint replacement procedure, your surgeon will strive to ensure that everything is aligned properly. Accurate alignment of the hip or knee components is critical to the overall function of your new joint,1,2 and it also plays a role in helping your joint feel healthy again, and helping the joint replacement to potentially last longer.
Computer-assisted technology has made it possible for your orthopaedic specialist to navigate joint replacement procedures with a level of accuracy so precise it may improve the results of your surgery.1
What are some of the reasons orthopaedic surgeons choose computer-assisted technology?

Website About Lateral Flare Hip Stem at NYU Medical Center
The Lateral Flare hip stem features a unique new design for femoral components. The addition of a lateral expansion to the proximal body of the stem allows for a more physiologic distribution of the body weight over the entire proximal femur.
This new design was based on an updated hip biomechanical model which includes the muscles and ligaments in a dynamic, more physiologic situation. By including these soft tissue factors, particularly the Iliotibial band (ITB) as a tension band lateral to the femur and the vastus lateralis muscle, a more accurate picture on how the loads are transmitted through the hip joint was recreated. Contrary to what it was traditionally …

What THR devices do you use?
What device is best for younger active patients?
What limitations do they have after they have healed?
Dr. Brooks Responds:
I use Smith and Nephew total hips.
Stems and sockets are rarely cemented. Very rarely in my
practice.
Stems also come in 3 basic designs: cylindrical,
tapered, and anatomic (rights and lefts). The incidence of thigh – pain
is least with the tapers – no surprise there.
So, I use a cementless tapered stem, with a cementless socket.
From there, the only choice is the bearing.
My bearing for young people that would otherwise have a
BHR hip resurfacing, is ceramic on ceramic. There is no bearing with
better …
