OverviewDesigned for complex revision total hip arthroplasty, the PBG cemented revision hip stem provides mechanical stability through distal diaphyseal fixation. Indicated for massive femoral bone loss, periprosthetic fractures and failed primary implants, the stem is available in long configurations to bypass compromised proximal bone stock. A high‑polished surface minimizes wear at the prosthesis–cement interface. The system includes a dedicated cannulated centralizer and medullary plug to ensure reliable cement sealing in severe bone‑defect revisions.
Indications- Complex revision total hip arthroplasty (THA)
- Massive femoral bone loss
- Periprosthetic femoral fractures
- Failed primary hip implants requiring extended diaphyseal fixation
Key Features- Distal diaphyseal fixation for mechanical stability when proximal bone stock is compromised
- High‑polished surface finish to reduce prosthesis–cement mantle wear
- Dedicated cannulated centralizer supplied for accurate stem positioning
- Medullary plug included to ensure effective cement sealing in severe bone‑defect revisions
- Cemented long-stem option; cemented and cementless PBG stems use the same broach
Surgical / Implant Notes- Typically used with a long femoral stem (commonly >180 mm) to engage distal femoral cortex beyond compromised proximal bone
- Designed to achieve distal fixation and restore mechanical stability in severe bone‑loss scenarios
- Surface finish and cementing accessories are intended to optimize cement mantle performance and reduce prosthesis–cement interface wear
