ANTHOLOGY hip stem: lot number: 06CM01939 by Smith & Newphew
This hip system uses a flat, tapered stem design. The stem is placed in the thigh bone. Because of its shape, the steam achieves an excellent fit in the thigh bone and is rotationally stable, which is an important property for hip implants.
