The EMERGENCE cemented cup respects the fundamental of the LFA (low friction arthroplasty) described by Sir John Charnley in 1962:

  • Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene arthroplasty
  • Reduced bearing diameter of 22.2mm or 28mm
  • Wide articulating chamfer in the lower quadrant of the cup favoring the ROM
  • Deep concentric grooves for a long-term fixation to the bone cement
  • Polar cylindrical contact allowing to preserve an even cement mantle around the cup
  • Peripherical flange of diameter larger than the dome
  • Peripheral crenels allowing the pressurization of the cement
  • Circomferential radiloucent wire
  • Holding and implantation instrument indexed to the cup

EVOLUTIS has brought 2 modifications to the original concept :

  • A version of the articular plan of 15 ° with regard to the equatorial plane of the cup
  • A PEXEL grade polyethylene (moderately crosslinked) which allows for a reduction of 50 % of the wear with compared with a conventional polyethylene
