The Acumed Anatomic Radial Head System is designed to provide an anatomic implant to replace the patient’s native radial head. Designed in conjunction with Shawn W. O’Driscoll, PhD, MD, the Acumed Anatomic Radial Head System features 290 head and stem combinations including standard stems, long stems, an anatomically shaped radial head, and system-specific instrumentation to help streamline the surgeon’s experience in the operating room.

Indications for Use:

  • Replacement of the radial head for degenerative or post-traumatic disabilities presenting pain, crepitation, and decreased motion of the radiohumeral and/or proximal radioulnar joint with joint destruction and/or subluxation, and resistance to conservative treatment.
  • Primary replacement after fracture of the radial head.
  • Symptomatic replacement after radial head resection.
  • Revision following failed radial head arthroplasty.

In addition to the Anatomic Radial Head System, this set may include the Acutrak 2® Mini and Micro instruments and the Locking Radial Head Plate System at the base of the tray to provide multiple solutions all in one set. For the Acutrak 2 Headless Compression Screw System surgical technique, please reference part number SPF00-02. For the Locking Radial Head Plate System surgical technique, please reference part number ELB00-02.
