Echelon No Cementado

Features and Benefits.
ECHELON revision hip implants are part of a family of femoral stems that address both Primary and Revision indications. With one set of instruments, a variety of stems can be implanted. ECHELON Revision is designed with the goal of providing long-term, pain-free restoration of joint function and normal hip biomechanics.

Clinical Goals
Fixation
Range of Motion
Versatility
Simplicity
The system is composed of cementless and cemented implants with lengths ranging from 190-300 mm, and sizes from 11-22mm.

Cobalt Chrome which allows for extensive porous coating of the stem.
RoughCoatTM Coating- sintered bead porous coating allows for scratch fit and stresses the bone for bone in-growth.
Hydroxyapatite - A 50 micron layer of hydroxyapatite is applied to the fully porous coated stem.
Shoulder Relief - ECHELON Revision Hip System has a rounded shoulder, which eases insertion or extraction and reduces the risk of fracture of the greater trochanter.
Coronal Slot - The slot reduces overall stem stiffness, which can mean less stress shielding, less thigh pain and less chance of fracturing the femur upon insertion.
Distal Bullet Tip - The polished distal bullet tip is a smooth transition from the cylindrical portion of the stem which reduces the possibility of impingement or bone on-growth. Both impingement and bone on-growth are associated with thigh pain.
Surgical Simplicity - A simple hip system makes surgery go smoother
