Advantages of Biomet Magnum Hip Replacement

(gilbertrobbins). Submitted on Fri, 20 Jan 2012

Traditionally, hip replacement implants feature a metal ball that moves against a polyethylene (plastic) cup whereas metal on metal hip systems feature a metal ball that moves against a metal cup. This metal cup is what offers the additional resistance to wear and tear.



Well developed metal on metal hips are a good option for many patients. Biomet magnum system provides a clinically proven, unique design that shows a magnificent lower revision rate than other MoM implants.

There are many benefits of the Biomet Magnum metal on metal hip replacement:

•    Large Head Potion

Large heads (ball portion of implant) potentially provide greater resistance to dislocation and improved implant stability.

•    Wide Range of Sizes

The Magnum hip's huge range of sizes allows for better replication of a patient's anatomy. Biomet magnum components provide the largest heads throughout the entire range of implant sizes. No matter what your physical stature, the M2a-Magnum system will allow you to benefit from this.

•    Large Heads Provide Potentially Greater Motion & Stability

Biomet's Magnum Metal-on-Metal hip has a wide range of size options. These options allow orthopaedic surgeons to choose the best possible implant for each patient.


•    Wear Reduction

Using metal on metal components is the best option as all-metal components undergo less wear and tear compared to conventional polyethylene components.

•    Maximum Range of Motion

Biomet Magnum hip system is meticulously designed to provide maximum range of motion, offering the potential for over a 160 degree range of motion.

There are numerous factors that your orthopedic surgeon checks when recommending metal-on-metal hip implants. Only your surgeon can decide if you are a candidate for this system or if another type of implant would better address your unique situation.
