  • ALIGN Design
    • Radial Head System
      • A monoblock implant customized to mimic the patient’s natural anatomy.
      • The aim of radial head arthroplasty(RHA) is to achieve a radial head replacement that is as close to the patient’s natural anatomy as possible.
    • Atraumatic dish minimize capitellar wear
    • 5 Head diameters 18mm-26mm
      • Side-loading head with wide range of stem & neck size options.
    • Ti plasma spray
    • 5 neck offsets 0mm-8mm and 5 stem diameters 7mm-11mm
    • Long stem design provides three point fixation for a solid press fit
    • Distal Stem Flutes
      • Grant rotational stability and greater range of movement.
  • Indications
    • Replacement of the radial head for degenerative or posttraumatic disabilities presenting pain, crepitation, and decreased motion at the radio-humeral and/or proximal radioulnar joint with:
      • Joint destruction and/or subluxation
      • Resistance to conservative treatment
      • Primary replacement after fracture of the radial head
      • Symptomatic sequelae after radial head resection
      • Revision following failed radial head arthroplasty
      • The system is intended for press-fit use
