Insertion of permanent head

Head trial

Once the final neck is implanted, it is still possible to use a trial head as with a standard stem.

Insertion of the permanent head

It is essential to wash and then dry the Morse taper before the insertion of the permanent head.

V40 Heads

The ABG™II Modular implant is only compatible with the range of Stryker® V40™ femoral heads. These heads have a taper of 5°40’ with an entry diameter of 11.3mm and are available in LFIT™ (alloy of cobalt-chrome) and in Biolox ® Delta.

+5mm is the maximum offset allowed for the heads. For ceramic heads: only Biolox® Delta ceramic heads allowed (no Biolox® Forte or any pure alumina head can be used).
