The pulse lavage is indicated for Knee, Hip and Revision procedures. It effectivelyprepares bone bed for cementation by thoroughly cleaning the cancellous bone, removing blood and debris, optimizing the interface between bone and cement and greatly reducing revision rate. The use of Pulsed Lavage has also been proven to reduce the risk of fat embolisms and cardiorespiratory complications following bone cementation.

The EasyHip Bipolar Head consists of an UHMWPE component encased in an ultra-smooth polished CoCrMo outer metal casing, for articulation in the bony acetabulum. It is to be used in conjunction with femoral components from the GO Implants Total Hip Systems.

For optimal results the surgery should be planned in advance using the appropriate templates. The templates are enlarged by a factor of 110%. The implant size should be choosen using good quality AP and ML X-rays with adequate contrast. Each X-ray should be large enough to apply the whole template.

All surgical approaches can be used while implanting EasyHip Cementless Cups components. All the following steps apply for postero-lateral surgical approach and all other surgical access routes. The patient lies on his/her side. The incision is done postero-laterally. After opening of the fascia-lata, external rotator muscles are resected and the joint capsule is incited. Then, the femoral head is dislocated in dorsal direction so that it lies free.

For optimal results the surgery should be planned in advance using the appropriate templates. The templates are enlarged by a factor of 110%. The implant size should be choosen using good quality AP and ML radiographs with adequate contrast. Radiographs should include a full A/P (anterior/posterior) view of the pelvis, including the proximal one-half of both femurs and a lateral view of the proximal half of the affected femur
