Minimally invasive femoral stem Furlong Evolution®

cementless

The Furlong® Evolution was designed on the strengths of the Furlong® H-A.C. but has been adapted to optimise ease of use without compromising on the ability to achieve primary mechanical fixation and long term secondary biological fixation through osseointegration. The Furlong® has evolved to even more closely match the needs of: Patient Surgeon Theatre staff Theatre management Procurement Sterile services Furlong Evolution® Design Criteria The Furlong® H-A.C. by preserving the principles set out by Mr. Furlong to achieve absolute mechanical stability, rotational stability under dynamic load, and long-term physiological fixation. To achieve accurate implantation, predictable and reproducible positioning and stability. Simple, concise, easy to use Rotational stability under dynamic load Proximal body of the Furlong Evolution® is designed to fit the metaphysis of the femur; Rectangular cross section of the proximal body provides rotational stability under dynamic loading Load transferred and transmitted by the interface between the prosthesis and cancellous bone Absolute mechanical stability Cone shaped geometric transition between proximal body and cylindrical distal stem; Prevents subsidence Stress transfer creates ‘hoop stressing’ of the cortical bone providing early stable mechanical fixation
