Many of these cementlessstem concepts are based on ye a rs of successful clinical ex p e ri e n c e . 1, 2 , 3 , 4P rox i m a l ly, the ste m’s titanium fiber metal surface pro m otes bonei n grow th. In addition, the corundum surface finish of the mid-stem re g i o nf u rther pro m otes a secure bone-implant inte rface and allows for boneo n grow th. Dista l ly, the stem is polished to discoura ge distal fixation andta p e red to increase flexibility and avoid contact with cortical bone inn a rrowing distal fe m u rs.An essential foundation for Ve r S ys was the A NA DAT ® A n a to m i c a lD a tabase, comp rising detailed anatomic measurements ofc a d aver fe m o ra that guided implant sizing and design. 5Combined with ex te n s i ve ly re s e a rched implant mate rialsand clinically proven fe a t u res, A NA DATenabled the creation of a syste mdesigned for optimum ve rs a t i l i t y,f u n c t i o n a l i t y, and long-te rm results.Vast improvements havebeen made in total hipa rt h roplasty since theearliest implants weredeveloped more than fourdecades ago.
