World Hip and Knee Implants
WalkStrong founder Dr. Michael Christie has worked in coordination with Signature Orthopedics to develop a portfolio of cost-effective hip and knee arthroplasty implants specifically suited for the needs of our partner sites across the world.
World Hip
Based on the long and clinically proven history of the Wagner Stem, the World® Hip Stem retains geometry that made the Wagner so successful and adds contemporary neck geometry. Infinite stem version and simple instrumentation make the system flexible and user friendly. The system boasts modern acetabular cup options including highly crosslinked liners, muti hole cup options, ceramic head balls from Coorstek and a game changing 36mm head ball starting at a 48mm cup.
