Overview

Anatomic Radial Head System

Designed in conjunction with Shawn W. O’Driscoll, Ph.D., M.D., at the Mayo Clinic, Acumed’s Anatomic Radial Head System provides a comprehensive solution for radial head replacement including advanced instrumentation, an innovative insertion and placement procedure and a precise anatomical implant.

With improved biomechanics, an anatomical prosthesis theoretically reduces wear on the capitellum and carries a reduced chance of long-term prosthesis loosening and means less pain for the patient.

Approved Indications

  • Radial head fractures that indicate joint replacement.
Key Features

Key Features

  • Anatomic design: The system replicates natural radial head geometry, provides improved articulation with the capitellum, prevents loosening and maintains the proper relationship between the radial neck and the plane of the head.
  • Straightforward instrumentation: Collar height gauge offers an improved method of determining overall length of the radius. Color-coded broaches, trial heads and stems allow quick distinction between components and sizes. Collar reamers create a perpendicular neck surface for the stem collar.
  • Versatility: 200 standard head and stem combinations ten left and ten right stem options in five diameters and four collar height options accommodate different patient sizes and provide proper restoration of the overall length of the radius.
