On
Tuesday, December 5, at 4:30 pm (MT), Tucson Medical Center in Tucson,
Arizona, will broadcast a live Zimmer MIS 2-Incision Total Hip
Replacement procedure featuring the VerSys® Epoch® FullCoat Hip
Prosthesis and the Trabecular MetalTM Modular Acetabular System with
Longevity® Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene live on OR-Live.com.
The
VerSys Epoch Hip Prosthesis' distinct composite stem design has a low
modulus of elasticity to address concerns about proximal bone
resorption resulting from stress shielding, as well as concerns about
thigh pain that can result from a bending stiffness mismatch between
the prosthesis and natural bone, particularly with larger stems. It was
created to offer an extensively porous-coated implant in larger stem
sizes without a significant increase in stem stiffness when compared to
smaller sizes or proximally coated implants.
On Thursday, November 16, at 6:00 p.m. (MT), LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City, UT will broadcast a live Zimmer MIS Total Knee replacement procedure featuring the Zimmer Gender Solutions High-Flex Knee, the first knee replacement shaped to fit a woman's anatomy.
This OR-Live.com broadcast is in conjunction with the Zimmer MIS Surgical Solutions in the Hip & Knee Symposium.
