These unique scales system is incorporated into the stem’s anterior, posterior and medial surfaces. Engineers applied methods and systems found in nature (bionics) to design an effective and efficient surface of the implant. According to this, the deepness of the scales reduces from proximal to distal, encouraging the transmission of vertical loading from the implant to the bone and reducing the dependence on friction at the hydroxyapatide surface.
