Platform Fracture Stem
Anatomical. Redefined.
The fracture stem’s features define the next generation in four-part fracture reconstruction.


- Robust scope of eccentric heads provides intra-operative flexibility
- Patented anterior-lateral fin – aligning fin with distal portion of bicipital
groove establishes version1, 2, 3
- A/P handles and cerclage hole – a) stable base holds tuberosities; b) easy to thread for cerclage suture technique
- Multiple fin holes with rounded edges provide suturing versatility
- Asymmetric tuberosity beds address primary failure mode of complex fractures following hemiarthroplasty – tuberosity nonunion1, 2, 3
- Grit blast encourages bone ongrowth
- Fully integrated with Equinoxe reverse implant options
- Grafting window promotes tuberosity apposition
- Satin finish and distal grooves facilitate cement fixation
