Owing to the growing interest shown by surgeons, the 10 000th ESOP HA femur implant was fitted in December 2001. We are glad of that success, and want to share it with you.Over a 11 year period, ESOP HA is accumulating very good long term results.Combined with the ATLAS acetubulum with an alumina / PE insert, the ESOP HA stem provides an alumina / alumina friction combination whose tribologic qualities place it at the leading edge of the technical progress made in that area.

We suggest you discover more of the ESOP HA prosthesis by visiting this site.

We remain at your service, including through the contact link. We wish you a pleasant visit on this site.

The ESOP stem was designed to provide both

  • perfect metaphysis adaptation
  • and good shaft implant centring

The morphoadaptation requires :

  • giving up single-body prosthesis homothety;
  • having another prosthetic approach;
  • using an innovation : the modular prosthesis.

That is why ESOP HA has been designed in two separate parts, which the surgeon can chose and assemble in order to adjust the stem to the shape of the femur in the best conditions.

Metaphysiary part

It was designed to provide the greatest support on the endosted metaphysiary bone :

  • it is tulip-shaped ;
  • its horizontal section is round in its internal and external sections ;
  • it comes in increasing sizes.

It provides the best filling of the bone metaphysis. The choice between 10 right and left sizes helps choose the best implant for the size of the metaphysis.

Distal part

The ESOP HA shaft is chosen based on the femoral shaft size.
It comes in 7 different diameter sizes.

Prior to fitting the ESOP HA prosthesis, the metaphysiary and shaft sections are screwed together.

The ESOP HA customised implant provides 70 different metaphysis and shaft combinations for a better adjustment of the stem to the patient's bone morphology.
