The Zimmer® Kinectiv® Hip  

The hip replacement with 780 anatomical fitment options

780 anatomical fitment options If you want to transform an off-the-shelf pair of trousers into a great-fitting pair of trousers, you go to a tailor or seamstress who will take many measurements and adjust the trousers to your one-of-a-kind shape.

That is the general idea behind the Zimmer Kinectiv Hip. It is an implant that gives surgeons the control to make independent adjustments to each part of the implant.  Each component is chosen – right during surgery – that fits you best.

There are a number of potential benefits (1) of the Zimmer Kinectiv Hip compared to traditional hip implants:

  1. allows for a more precise fit for men and women;
  2. allows surgeons to make adjustments accommodating head position and forward tilt to better fit the implant to each patient’s distinct anatomy, instead of fitting the patient to the implant;
  • Hip surgery: find surgeons and hospital facilities could increase hip stability, reducing the risk of dislocation;
  • supports enhanced range of movement (the extent to which the hip joint can move);
  • enables Zimmer Minimally Invasive Solutions™ ( MIS) surgical technique.

The Zimmer Kinectiv Hip has four parts. Traditional hip implants only have three parts because the stem and neck are one component. With the Zimmer Kinectiv Hip, the stem and neck are separate but interlocking components. This means that your surgeon can factor in the angle, position and tilt of your hip and then independently select the shape and size of each part of the implant to match the contours of your hip.

Examples of two different hips: male and female This image shows examples of two different hips. The one outlined in blue shows what a man’s hip might look like. The one in pink is what a woman’s hip might look like. See how the woman’s hip is angled lower and is shorter (positioned closer to the thighbone)?

The fact is, traditional implants may not fully address the differences between and among women’s and men’s hips. The Zimmer Kinectiv Hip is designed and placed to fit and function most like you.
