Wright Medical Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:WMGI), a global orthopaedic medical device company specializing in the design, manufacture and marketing of reconstructive joint devices and biologic materials, today announced the launch of its PROFEMUR(R) Tapered Stem Total Hip System. The new rounded, tapered stem design reduces the potential for implant loosening and thigh pain and requires the removal of less bone from within the femoral canal. The tapered stem feature complements the PROFEMUR(R) system’s innovative modular neck design, which is specially suited for use with a smaller surgical incision.
