Orthopedics — Revision Hip Replacement

Latitud™ MonoMod

A monobloc fluted tapered titanium revision stem designed to combine distal fixation with options for proximal reconstruction.

The Latitud™ MonoMod revision stem is a cementless femoral revision implant based on fluted tapered titanium stem principles. Its monobloc construction avoids a modular junction within the stem while allowing the use of proximal femoral augments when additional proximal support is required.

The design combines a tapered distal body, longitudinal ribs, proximal surface treatment and dedicated instrumentation to support fixation, rotational stability and reproducible stem positioning in revision hip surgery.

The system

A monobloc revision concept with distal fixation and proximal reconstruction options

Fluted tapered titanium stems are widely used in femoral revision surgery because distal fixation can be obtained when proximal femoral bone is deficient.

The Latitud™ MonoMod stem uses a monobloc construction rather than a modular stem junction. A 2.5° tapered distal body is designed to achieve scratch-fit fixation within prepared femoral bone, while longitudinal ribs increase rotational resistance and expand the available host-bone contact surface.

The proximal region incorporates a coated surface, a rounded shoulder and polished neck. Highly porous proximal femoral augments can be added when supplementary proximal support is required, without introducing a junction within the revision stem itself.

Key Features

Features designed to simplify insertion and manage mechanical stresses

The implant incorporates dedicated proximal and distal design elements intended to facilitate controlled insertion, limit soft-tissue irritation and reduce stress at the distal end of the stem.

Guided insertion and smooth proximal profile

The proximal stem geometry provides a guided instrument connection designed to give rotational control during insertion.

A smooth rounded shoulder and polished neck reduce sharp transitions around the proximal implant and are intended to minimise irritation of surrounding soft tissues.

Polished distal tip

The distal end of the stem has a polished, rounded profile. This transition is designed to reduce stress concentration between the implant tip and the surrounding femoral bone.

Indication

Femoral revision and complex reconstruction

The system is intended for revision of a previously failed total hip arthroplasty or hemiarthroplasty.

It may also be considered after failed previous hip procedures such as arthrodesis or surface replacement arthroplasty, in unstable intertrochanteric fractures in osteoporotic elderly patients, and in complex primary reconstruction when proximal femoral bone has been compromised by prior surgery or disease.

Final implant selection and use must follow the applicable Instructions for Use, approved indications and local regulatory requirements.
