Patient Positioning
and Surgical Approach
Patient position should be determined by the
surgeon’s preferred approach. The goal of the surgical
approach is to establish adequate visualization of the
anatomy (Figure 2).
Pre-operative Planning
When planning a hip revision utilizing the Arcos
Modular Femoral Revision System, carefully review
the indications and contraindications for use
referenced within the package insert.
The Arcos Modular Femoral Revision System is not
designed for use in a fully unsupported proximal
femur. Bone stock of adequate quality must be
present and appraised at the time of surgery. The
use of medial and/or lateral strut grafts may be
necessary to support the taper junction in cases of
severe proximal deficiency.
Utilizing A/P and M/L X-rays and implant templates
will assist in determining the correct implant size,
offset and position for a stable reconstruction
(Figure 1). Final determination frequently cannot be
made until the actual time of surgery. However, with
appropriate planning, a consistent operative plan
with alternatives can be formulated.
