REDAPT™ Revision Femoral System Surgical Technique Smith & Nephew would like to acknowledge the contributions of the following surgeons with whom we designed the REDAPT Revision Femoral System: Mathias Bostrom, MD New York, NY Fares S. Haddad, BSc MCh, FRCS...

The REDAPT™ Revision Femoral System by Smith & Nephew is uniquely designed to address the challenges in today’s revision hip arthroplasty: fixation in various bone types, achievement of joint stability, predictable stem position and surgical efficiency. It all starts with ROCKTITE™ flutes which are intended to provide rock-solid distal fixation in all bone types.

Each neck is made with a 12/14 taper for use with compatible cobalt chrome, ceramic and OXINIUM™ heads. The circulotrapezoidal neck is designed for increased range of motion. The following table and illustrations show the total offset and height for each REDAPT™ stem. Offset Height...

Instruments REDAPT™ instruments are designed to maximize surgical efficiency and improve accuracy and reproducibility of implant position during the procedure. This is accomplished by reaming and trialing “over the top” of the distal reamers. Distal and proximal reamers are color-coded to provide easy identification of implant sizes and reduce unnecessary instruments.

Preoperative planning and templating Templating Preoperative templating accomplishes several goals. The primary goal is to determine the intended diameter and length of the revision stem and the remaining femoral bone to support the conical, fluted stem. While all revision situations are unique, in general, 5-7cm of conical reaming of distal cortical bone is desired.

5-7cm and that it engages in good diaphsyeal bone. REDAPT templates are available in digital and acetate formats (Figure 3). Consult your Smith & Nephew representative for assistance in obtaining templates.
Surgical Technique The following technique should be used when implanting REDAPT Sleeveless monolithic implants. Before surgery, review instrument sets to ensure all instruments are present and working properly. Removal of a well fixed femoral stem The removal of a well fixed femoral stem can at times be accomplished using thin osteotomes starting at the proximal portion of the implant.

Surgical Technique continued Neck resection technique when using the stem in a challenging primary application The femoral neck resection may need to be modified in some challenging primary applications such as angular and rotational deformity. The conical, fluted design is particularly well-suited for these cases due to the stability that is possible with this design.

This color will identify available implant sizes and appropriate instrumentation for subsequent steps. The size of a REDAPT™ stem is 0.25mm greater than the equivalently sized reamer, providing a press fit of 0.25mm. The depth of the reamer is determined by...

Surgical Technique continued Upon achieving desired distal fit, disengage the quick connect and power, apply a T-handle and ensure the reamer does not rotate or translate axially. Leave final distal reamer in the canal and note the size. Proximal reaming Select a proximal reamer that offers little or no resistance when placed over the shaft of the final distal reamer.

Surgical Technique continued Screw pops up Trial body assemblies have been designed when seated on so that when the teeth on the underside proximal spacer of the trial body mate with the teeth on the proximal spacer when initially placed. When the components are properly mated the screw on the top of the trial body pops up.

Trial/Reamer removal Attach trial handle to trial removal hook (Figure 14). To remove the assembled trial components insert the trial removal hook through the cross hole of the trial body assembly (Figure 15). Using gentle force, extract the trial components superiorly, to avoid damage to surrounding tissue.
Page 18
Surgical Technique continued Implant assembly and insertion Attach the implant driving platform of the stem inserter to the proximal end of the stem implant (Figure 17). To attach, stand the stem inserter upright so that the threaded tip is pointed up. Ensure that the lever handle is open on the stem inserter and screw the implant onto the threaded tip as far as possible.

Proximal support Once the final components are implanted, the osteotomy is reduced and secured with cables. In order to reduce the osteotomized bone fragment in its anatomic position, it may be necessary to shape the endosteal surface of the bone fragment with a curette or burr to fit against the lateral position of the femoral component.
