Arcos Revision System

The Arcos Modular Femoral Revision System is a comprehensive femoral revision system that meets the demands of complex revision surgery by offering 117 proximal/distal combinations, multiples auxiliary fixation options and one simple instrumentation platform.

This system provides surgeons and O.R. staff customisation, surgical control, O.R. efficiency and reproducibility in a way that addresses patient and practice needs.

Arcos revision hipThree proximal body options:

  1. Cone
  2. Broach
  3. Calcar

Five distal stem options:

  1. STS (Splined Tapered Stem)
  2. Slotted
  3. Bullet-tip
  4. Interlocking*
  5. ETO (Extended Trochanteric Osteotomy)

Multiple surgical technique options:
Ream-over
Sterile field
In-femur

  • One simple, easy to use instrumentation platform
  • Standard and high offset options reproduce various patient anatomies without lengthening the leg
  • Consistent sizing (1mm increments) for increased O.R. efficiency and accurate matching of the patient’s femur
  • Roller-hardened taper junction technology for greater fatigue strength and three times more strength in cantilever beam testing than non-roller hardened tapers1
  • Clinically proven PPS coating and BoneMaster hydroxyapatite allows for initial scratch-fit stability and biologic fixation 2-9
  • Flexibility of titanium allows for stress transfer to preserve cortical density10
