The Cannulok Solution (Custom)

CannulokŪ Revision System

Unique in combining the advantages of a modular hip prosthesis with a locking intra-medullary nail, the CannulokŪ Revision System is available as a CE marked product 'Off the Shelf' as well as a custom solution.

Clinical Indications:
  • Periprosthetic Fracture Treatment
  • Certain revision scenarios involving deficiencies in femoral diaphyseal bone stock (Paprosky Type IIIB) or cases of 'stove pipe' femurs used with or without impaction allograft.
  • Massive Proximal femoral bone loss incorporating bulk allograft.
  • Resection custom stem solutions following massive proximal femoral bone loss.
  • Oncological applications, cemented or cementless.
  • Femoral reinforcement
Custom Solutions
 

The CannulokŪ prosthesis is one of the more 'common' templates upon which many of our custom manufactured prostheses are based. This often includes supplementary anterior screws or additional screw holes for individual's anatomical requirements. An anterior bow is also frequently provided, particularly where the femur is not fractured. Customised length or HA/HATI and TI coatings are also popular requests.

The CannulokŪ Advantages:
  • Closed procedure with standard guidance technique helps preservation of blood supply with improved conditions for fracture healing.
  • Smaller exposure leading to reduced blood loss and reduced risk of infection.
  • Reduced soft tissue damage enabling earlier mobilisation.
  • Fixation of the distal fragment, controlling rotation and shortening with earlier and more secure ambulation.
  • Proximal cement restrictor allows better control and pressurisation of bone cement within the proximal femur and prevention of cement migration distally, enhancing the conditions for fracture healing.
  • Hydroxyapatite coated options to maximise flexibility and indications.
  • Anatomically curved options in cemented and cementless stems indicated for use in the intact femur.
  • Tapered junction allowing selection of a range of head sizes and neck lengths for THR or matching with existing acetabular components or electing for hemiarthroplasty.
