Novation® Element®

The Novation® Element’s® tapered-wedge stem philosophy, combined with Exactech’s signature neck flats, is designed to provide surgeons with an implant that provides excellent initial fixation and long-term stability when paired with the Novation Element standard instrumentation or the Novation Element A+ Instrumentation for the anterior approach.

 

 Novation Element

  1. A 12/14 neck taper allows coupling with
    numerous bearing surfaces
  2. Highly polished neck cross-section is minimized on the medial aspect to increase range of motion, decreasing the chance of post-operative dislocation, while material on the lateral side is maintained for strength.1
  3. Independent insertion and extraction features allow the stems to be inserted in a controlled manner or removed without damaging the neck of the implant
  4. The tapered-wedge geometry with a low-profile lateral shoulder facilitates insertion in smaller incisions and various surgical approaches
  5. Horizontal proximal grooves convert hoop stress to compressive loads
  6. Extensively HA coated.

 

Available in Collarless (Standard and Extended Offsets) and Collared (Standard Offset only) sizes
8-18 (not pictured).


Novation Element A+ Instrumentation is designed to facilitate the use of the direct anterior approach
(not pictured).
