AMIS featuring the SMS femoral stem and the Versafitcup acetabular cup- Prof. Dr. med. Gollwitzer

After the success of the Munich Hip Meeting 2022, we are pleased to share Prof. Dr. med. Gollwitzer’s THA’s live surgery performing an Anterior Minimally Invasive Surgery (AMIS) featuring the Short Medacta Stem (SMS) and the Versafitcup acetabular shell.

AMIS is an evolution of the anterior approach, fine-tuned to minimize soft tissue damage, pain, and recovery times, potentially reducing the dislocation rate and providing excellent patient satisfaction scores.

The SMS is a bone-preserving short femoral stem, designed to achieve a physiological proximal load transfer and restore the individual anatomy of the patient. The optimized design has been conceived to easily position the implant according to the AMIS technique and potentially reduce the risk of calcar fractures. The shortened stem length and reduced distal geometry allow for preservation of more bone tissue, while ensuring an efficient restoration of the joint biomechanics. These features allow this stem to be the optimal choice for all MIS procedures, such as the AMIS approach.
