Because many fractures of the femoral neck are unsuitable for internal fixation, hemi-arthroplasty is often the surgical option of choice, particularly in the older patient population. Avoiding the need to perform a more invasive THA preserves the acetabulum, helps to minimize surgical trauma to the patient, decreases OR time and reduces dislocation risk.

Smith & Nephew hemi-arthroplasty options combine the TANDEM^◊ Unipolar and Bipolar system with CONQUEST FX^◊ or SYNERGY^◊ Ti Hip Stems for a system that is cost-effective without sacrificing performance or instrument utility.

Versatility – one instrument set works for both the unipolar and bipolar procedures, and the CONQUEST^◊ fracture stems utilize the intuitive SYNERGY^◊ hip stem instrumentation system.
Ease of use – the TANDEM^◊ Bipolar implant was designed for easy assembly, requiring no tools to assemble the bipolar component.
Superior wear resistance – the preassembled polyethylene liner/shell in the TANDEM^◊ Bipolar implant minimizes rotational and axial movement, and the quick snap polyethylene features an anti-rotation boss to minimize micromotion at the shell periphery.
