POLARSTEM^◊

The POLARSTEM^◊ has been clinically used since 2002 with excellent clinical results for over 10 years^1,2 and is based on a philosophy that has yielded excellent clinical results in the last +25 years.^3,4

The simple surgical technique leads to reproducible results and allows implantation using both conventional and minimally invasive techniques.^2,5-9

The POLARSTEM can be used for all standard femoral morphologies. The range of stems allows the implant to be matched to the vast majority of bone sizes, thereby reproducing the natural hip architecture.⁶

POLAR3^◊ is the primary hip replacement construct of choice:

• POLARSTEM and R3 is the best performing cementless hip combination in the UK at 10 years
• POLAR3 delivers highest survivorship at 8 years
• POLAR3 delivers higher than class average patient satisfaction
• OXINIUM shown to be the best performing bearing in 4 registries
