Stem Components. Press-Fit Stems: The press fit stems are available in three styles: straight flutes, bowed and long bowed. The press fit stems have an 11mm replacement length. The stems are made of titanium alloy with titanium plasma spray. The proximal 3cm of the stem is coated with Hydroxyapatite. Cemented Stems:
A THR requires that the upper portion of the femur bone be cut off to accept the stem portion of a THR device. The femur cap of the hip resurfacing devices does not require the femur bone be cut off; instead the top of the femoral head is shaped to closely fit the underside of the cap. Both hip resurfacing and hip replacement require that a cup is placed in the acetabulum of the hip socket. The main advantage of the hip resurfacing surgery is that when a revision is required, there is still an intact femur bone left for a THR stem.
