Resorbable Fixation
System Screw
The Latitude Total Elbow Prosthesis has been designed:
- To reproduce anatomy
- To restore normal kinematics
- Flexibility to allow anatomic replication
- Available in specific right and left components
- 4 sizes (S,M,L,L+)
- Different spool offsets (anterior, centered, posterior)
- 2 ulnar stem designs (standard, short)
Two ulnar stem designs depending on patient’s elbow. The standard stem is anatomically bowed to fit further into the ulna when additional fixation is desired.
Bipolar radial head implant
Radial component for optimal mechanical balance.
Possibility to maintain the radiohumeral articulation when the alignment is adequate.
- 4 diameters for radial head corresponding to the anatomical spools (0,18, 20, 22, and 24mm)
- 2 radial stem diameters (5mm and 6.5mm).
- Radio-humeral and radio-ulnar contact surfaces.
- Short radial stem for cemented use.
- Bipolar head +/- 10° ROM.
Latitude restores flexion-extension axis
A unique modular spool design to duplicate the patient’s natural flexion/extension axis.
The modular spool and the ulnar polyethylene design and thickness have been optimized.
- To allow a better anatomic distribution of joint reactive forces
- To reproduce the normal 7° varus/valgus laxity
- To preserve the linear prosthetic bearing surfaces
Intraoperative flexibility to link or unlink
The decision to use the implant in linked or unlinked mode is made intraoperatively following the examination of the surrounding soft tissue and the ligaments.
Unique locking mechanism ensures proper component capture.
A minimally invasive incision allows future transformation of the prosthesis from unlinked to linked if desired.
Precision step by step instrumentation
The Latitude instruments are designed to offer a reproducible step by step procedure.
Each jig uses anatomic landmarks and references the flexion-extension axis to ensure the replication of the natural anatomy.
Anatomically correct sizing ensures anatomic replication.
