Neck Implants

10 Modular Necks are available.



Warning:

• +5 heads are the maximum allowed
• For ceramic heads: Biolox® Delta ceramic head only can be used (no Biolox® Forte heads allowed)
     
  

Once the implant is selected, the insertion in the proper orientation is enabled with reference to the orientation of the diagram. Please note that the actual necks do not feature the color coding, and the size of the diagram is not the same as the one on the trial necks due to the legal markings that need to figure on the actual neck. In order to check that no mistake is done on the length of the neck, it is enough to double-check the presence or not of the plug.




Warning:

• Long necks cannot be used with stems size 1 and 2.
• The following illustration shows the feature on the necks that will prevent any mistakes.
• The long necks have a plug that is compatible with the female junction of sizes 3 and over only.

Implantation of the femoral neck

Before introducing the neck into the stem, make sure that:

• stem and neck are not damaged
• stem and neck junction are carefully cleaned and dried
• the neck is oriented according with the guidelines.

Once the final neck determined, and the previous points have been carefully checked, it is placed onto the stem by hand and then impacted as shown, like a metal head on a traditional spigot. The neck is firmly impacted. Please, pay attention to not damage/scratch the implants or the impactor by using a sponge at the interface.
