PRODUCT FEATURESZimmer ® Trabecular Metal PrimaryHip ProsthesisThe Zimmer ® Trabecular Metal PrimaryHip Prosthesis brings the distinctive propertiesand clinically proven benefits ofTrabecular Metal technology to a bone conservingand proximal loading stem design. The combinationof a 14-degree proximal taper, 23.5-degree neckresection angle and Zimmer MIS Technologyfriendly instruments are designed to result in optimalinitial stability, enhanced, long-term biological fixationand efficient proximal load transfer.The stem is available in both Standard (sizes 9-18)and Extended (sizes 11-18) offsets. It combines aTivanium ® Alloy substrate that provides excellent biocompatibilityand strength without excessive stiffness,along with a proprietary, diffusion-bonded, proximalTrabecular Metal pad. A reduced neck geometry belowthe 12/14 Taper helps increase range of motion.Zimmer, Inc.Tel: 574-267-6131www.zimmer.comAAOS Booth 2400Enquiry No 84Zimmer ® Compact Vacuum CementMixing SystemThe Zimmer Compact Vacuum Cement MixingSystem provides fast, hassle-free mixing of highviscosity bone cements. Its self-contained mixingelement thoroughly mixes high viscositycement and eliminates the added mess and inconvenienceof removing the mixing element prior tocement injection. The wide-mouth funnel makesloading of ingredients a clean and simple process.The system comes with a vacuum pump adapterwhich allows for connection tovarious vacuum sources andthe vacuum tube is equippedwith a visual vacuum indicator.The ZimmerCompact System is adisposable, sterile devicethat is optimally packagedfor efficient storage and minimalwaste. The mixing cartridge isdesigned to easily load into thePower-Flo ® Bone Cement Injector.ZimmerTel: 800-321-5533www.zimmer.comAAOS Booth 2400 and 6312Enquiry No 86PALACOS ® LV and PALACOS LV+GBone CementZimmer, a leader in orthopaedics, is cementing confidence with a low viscosityversion of PALACOS® Bone Cement available with or withoutGentamicin.PALACOS LV and PALACOS LV+G Bone Cements are based on thesame time-tested raw materials of PALACOS R and PLACOS R+G BoneCements, with the same unique green color. Because of a lower viscosity,PALACOS LV and LV+G are easy to eject from cartridge mixing systemsand from long, narrow nozzles used in some orthopaedic procedures.Other key features include excellent bending strength characteristics, highvisualization and a clinically proven antibiotic with a broad spectrum ofkill. Cementing with confidence starts with PALACOS Bone Cement –the ideal choice for orthopaedics.PALACOS is a trademark ofHeraeus Kulzer GmbH.Under license from HeraeusKulzer GmbH, Hanau,Germany.ZimmerTel: 800-321-5533www.zimmer.comAAOS Booth 2400Enquiry No 85The Achillon ® SystemIntegra Newdeal offers a minimallyinvasive method to treat acuteAchilles tendon ruptures. TheAchillon ® System allows directvisual control and percutaneous introductionof the sutures. The Achillonframe promotes precise order and introductionof the sutures. The adjustmentscrew facilitates individualadaptation to the tendon. The Achillon iswithdrawn when the sutures have beenpassed through the tendon, and from anextracutaneous position the sutures become subperitendinous. TheAchilles tendon is the only site of tissue attachment for the suture. Thesurrounding soft tissue and the tendon itself are treated carefully throughoutthe procedure to avoid local trauma. This minimally invasive procedurepromotes both faster patient recovery and the cosmetic benefit of asmaller scar.The Achillon ® System includes the Achillon instrument, one needledriver, and two surgical needles of 1.6mm diameter.Integra LifeSciences Corporation.Tel: 800-654-2873www.integra-ls.comAAOS Booth 2912Enquiry No 8762 Orthopaedic Product News • January/February 2007
PRODUCT FEATURESKineMatch TM Patello-FemoralReplacementIndicated for end-stage isolated patellofemoraldisease*Simple and Efficient. A CT-basedcustom fit provides precise conformanceto the patient’s trochlear groove, eliminatingthe need for bone resection andthus simplifying and speeding implantationof the prosthesis. A matching customdrill guide is provided to efficientlydetermine position and create peg-holes.The surgeon’s attention can then befocused on providing for optimum patellartracking.Clinically Proven.• 25 implants, mean follow-up 73 months• Results: 18 Excellent, 7 Good• 100% survivorship, no additional surgeries. 1In addition to eliminating bone resection and preserving bone stock, theCT custom fit also allows for restoration of normal kinematics whilereducing the potential for soft-tissue impingement, patellar catching andother fit-related problems associated with off-the-shelf devices.NaviPro Image- Free ® ShoulderNavigationComputer-assisted technologies can improve implant alignment in hip andknee arthroplasty. Like hip and knee arthroplasty, successful shoulder arthroplastydepends primarily on proper technique, because incorrect glenoid andhumeral component orientation can lead to premature wear, loosening, andsuboptimal function. The NaviPro system trackers are minimally invasive andcan be safely and securely attached to the humerus and scapula, without damageto bony or neurovascular structures. Because no established guidelinesexist in the literature for placement and orientation of shoulder implant components,this system provides the shoulder surgeon, for the first time, with asafe and effective intra-operative tool for accurately performing shoulderarthroplasty and documenting its results.Features and Benefits of the NaviPro Shoulder System:• Affordable - One-third the cost of competitive systems• User-Friendly - Concise and clear user interface• Image-Free - No CT, fluoroscopic or pre-operative planning requirements• Universal - Navigates shoulder implants from any manufacturer• Documentation - Document intra-operative data and correlate to outcomes• Passive Tracking - No additional wires or cords in the operative field• Reliable - Patented Tracker-Check* technology ensures reliability1.

Once rehydrated in vivo, the Xpanse Bone Insert undergoes significantvolume expansion ensuring endplate contact and providing a matrix forcellular penetration to promote bone healing. The Xpanse Bone Insert usesthe demineralized fiber technology found in Grafton ® DBM products anddemineralized cancellous chips to create a healthy conductive matrix for theincorporation of new bone.Progressive bone formation, over a period of five months, has beendemonstrated in an intravertebral sheep model. Xpanse Bone Inserts placed incylindrical PEEK insert holders were implanted with a 5mm gap between thebone insert and superior surface of the defect. At one month, expansion is evidentand bone formation adjacent to host bone is visible. At five months,clearly defined trabeculae span the defect indicating advanced remodeling.Xpanse can be used in bone grafting procedures as an individual graft orin combination with autograft or other forms of allograft bone. Xpanse BoneInserts are designed to fit within Osteotech’sGraftcage ® Spacers, but can be sized in the OR tofit in and around other spinal fusion devices.Osteotech, Inc.Tel: 800-537-9842, www.osteotech.comAAOS Booth 3412 Enquiry No 89Kinamed, Inc.Tel: 805-384-2748www.kinamed.comVisit Kinamed at AAOS 2007, San Diego, Booth 2824Enquiry No 90January/February 2007 • Orthopaedic Product News 63
