Major bone defects and poor bone quality require special techniques for revision surgery. The

– the product
Adapt the implant. Regenerate the bone.
The Prevision ®
revision components are built up step by step
according to a coordinated dimension concept.
The variety of proximal components and their total compatibility
with the distal shafts mean that each individual implant
can be optimally adapted to the particular defect situation.
The range of Prevision® implant components offers a large degree of freedom in combining the individual
elements to achieve a precise match with the particular bone, defect and joint situation.

Every revision operation places its own particular demands on the implant dimensions.
The remaining bone, which is frequently minimal, represents the basis for bone regeneration.
The modular implant components are therefore selected with the aim of bone regeneration
and not merely of filling the defect.
The catch-free Prevision® cone coupling is a reliable connection mechanism enabling the modular implant components to be connected
in situ.

Assisting the surgeon. Anticipating the outcome.

Particularly in difficult tasks, early recognition of the situation and anticipation of
the outcome is crucial for making the right decisions and choosing the best way to
reach the goal.
The clear and logical structure of the Prevision® instrumentation facilitates forward looking implantation
and intraoperative monitoring of the surgical steps.

– preoperative planning
Defect classification
Differentiated diagnosis and careful planning are essential before a revision operation.
After evaluation of the initial preoperative situation, the therapeutic procedure and the
ideal surgical outcome must be defined. Classification of the type and size of the
existing bone defects helps in deciding on the surgical tactic and the resources and
implants required to restore the function of the joint.
If the bone defects are only minor Because of the minor bone loss,

Radiograph planning
During preoperative planning the various alternatives are considered, potential sources
of complications are identified and the optimum treatment outcome is defined.
Planning is carried out using standardized x-rays (full pelvis x-ray, long femoral x-ray

The various conditions that have led to the revision surgery require careful diagnosis
and extensive surgical preparation and planning.
