Advanced Hip Surgery Technology at Stenum Hospital
The keys to a successful hip surgery involve proper diagnosis, access to the full spectrum of technology available, skilled surgeons, and a well implemented rehabilitation process.
The medical technology used for Hip Surgery is rapidly changing. New technology has been developed to reduce wear and extend the lifespan of these solutions. Less invasive Hip Resurfacing, Personalized Custom Hip Replacements, and improved multi-bearing implants, enable patients to return to normal activities sooner and avoid future surgeries.
Medical breakthroughs like BioMaterials and BioCeramics, using a specific Hydroxyapatite formula, enable advanced applications that provide superior integration with natural bone structures and longer lasting solutions.
While these advanced technologies may not be available in the US, they are available to international patients at Stenum Hospital.
At Stenum, top surgeons, advanced technology, and a comprehensive rehabilitation program, are combined to achieve superior long lasting results.
At Stenum Hospital our commitment to quality, combined with the latest technology improvements and expertise, provides superior results in a very safe world class patient destination.
The ReCap® Femoral Resurfacing Head
A less invasive alternative surgical option to total hip replacement is hip resurfacing.
 The ReCap® Femoral Resurfacing Head is a metal (cobalt chromium) cap that resurfaces the head of the femur. This conservative procedure makes the technique less invasive than traditional hip replacement surgery. The ReCap® Head may require a smaller incision and less bone removal, which can allow you to recover more quickly and with less pain. The implant can also help prolong or avoid the need for future total hip replacement. However, if you should need total hip replacement in the future, the ReCap® Head allows your surgeon the ability to perform the procedure with a less-invasive approach.

Personalized Custom Hip Replacement
The experienced surgeons at Stenum are using technology that enables them to design and manufacture custom hip replacement stems, made to measure, that adapt to every patient's unique anatomy.
 The custom shape of these hip replacements gives immediate stability and allows cement-less fixation through bone re-modeling around the prosthesis.
Unlike a standard implant, the mechanical stresses are transmitted to preferential support zones, adapted to each patient's anatomy.
The Symbios Hip Replacement System
Drawing upon 19 years of clinical experience with Custom Prostheses, Symbios has introduced the first system allowing control of the anatomical reconstruction of standard hip prostheses. This system allows us to effectively optimize the treatment of all cases, from the simplest to the most complex.
BioMaterials and BioCeramics
Advancements in nanotechnology have allowed development of biomaterials with an architecture similar to that of natural bone. This structure gives the biomaterial natural levels of porosity and allows for the formation of new bone.
Biomaterials, based on a next generation hydroxyapatite formula, when in contact with body fluids, create the ideal microenvironment for the receipt of biological stimuli required for bone development.
BioCeramics create a perfect synergy between the stimuli facilitating biochemical and structural neo-osteosynthesis.
The interconnected porosity plays a decisive role in the process of osseointegration as it allows total communication between the biomaterial and the surrounding environment by promoting bone formation.
Biomet Exceed Multi-bearing Hip Replacement
The Exceed-ABT™ multi-bearing hip replacement system combines the latest technological developments in large diameter bearing design with clinically proven fixation methods.
A highly versatile multi-bearing platform, the Exceed-ABT™ acetabular system is capable of addressing the needs of both primary and revision hip surgery. The ability to select intra-operatively between C2A-Delta™ (ceramic) and M2A™ Series (metal) allows for optimised implant function, in-line with clinical requirements and patient activity, while large diameter E-Poly HXLPE bearings complete the advanced bearing technology.
Improved stability, increased range of motion and reduced contact stress are all benefits that distinguish the Exceed-ABT™ acetabular system. Improved stability and increased range of motion are attributed to the extensive use of large diameter bearings, limiting the instances of dislocations and impingement; while reduced contact stress is a benefit achieved through optimal bearing contact via the patented 15-degree component.
