Range of Motion
Improving Range of Motion &
Minimizing Dislocation: Through Innovative Design.
 Dislocation continues to be one of the most common factors leading to
early failure of THA, with reported occurrence ranging from 1% to 10%
for primary replacement and 10% to 20% for revision surgery.27-30 The most
common factors for increased dislocation include surgical approach,
orientation of the acetabular component, inadequate joint tension and
prosthetic design. In an effort to address the issue of dislocation,
Wright has designed an innovative total hip implant to restore
anatomic joint tension and reduce the potential for impingement by
allowing for optimal range of motion.
- The PERFECTA® Slim Neck design coupled with a 12/14 taper reduces
the opportunity for implant impingement, resulting in maximum range of
motion and reducing the occurrence of dislocation.
- A highly polished neck region, minimizes potential for debris
generation.
- Standard and increased offsets allow for optimal joint tension,
further reducing
 the opportunity for dislocation.
- With the innovative neck design of the PERFECTA®
Stem and low profile design of the LINEAGE® Acetabular System, overall range of
motion is improved by up to 10º as compared to contemporary designs.
The PERFECTA® Slim Neck was designed with the patient in mind. These
updated implants are less technically demanding and provide surgeons
with increased flexibility and maximum range of motion.  The PERFECTA®
Slim Neck design in conjunction with the LINEAGE® Acetabular Cup System
reduces the chance of impingement and subsequent dislocation. Wright
