Construction

Austin Moore Endoprosthesis is an all-metal construction, consisting of stem and polished head (Diameters 38÷56 mm).

Design of the endoprosthesis allows to reach optimal load distribution in the contact zone of stem and cement mantle due to roughness on the stem surface, as well as improved fixation of endoprosthesis with help of the holes.

ALTIMED JSC produces 19 dimension types of Austin Moore endoprosthesis.
