COXARTIS

Right on target!

For many years, arthroscopic instruments have been widely used in standard orthopedic surgery on many joints, such as the knee and shoulder. Compared with the knee and shoulder, however, the hip is surrounded by more muscle tissue and is therefore harder to access.

In recent years, surgeons have refined hip surgery and explored new techniques, so that more and more hip conditions can be treated arthroscopically.

Common indications for hip arthroscopy include loose bodies in the hip joint, femoroacetabular impingement, cartilage damage, synovial lesions, synovitis and labral tears.

Hip arthroscopy is a procedure for examining the joint space between the femoral head and the acetabulum (central compartment) and the rest of the joint (peripheral compartment).

Instruments optimized for hip arthroscopy

COXARTIS aiming device

Using the main telescope portal as its reference, the new COXARTIS aiming device for hip arthroscopy allows further working portals to be created safely and quickly, effectively reducing X-ray exposure for patients and OR staff. The COXARTIS aiming device makes choosing working portals easier, especially for surgeons new to hip arthroscopy or those who do not perform it routinely.

PULSEShifter Microfracture Instrument

For microfracture surgery, we developed the PULSEShifter instrument with a patented technical solution to match the anatomy of the hip. It guides the impact impulse along a sheath that is angled (45°) at the distal end almost without loss and transfers it to the movable tip of the instrument.
