Bozeman Direct Anterior THA Femoral Elevator – Medium
Designed by Daniel M. Gannon, MD
Designed to elevate the femur anteriorly, providing exposure to allow broaching of the femoral canal and final placement of the femoral component, during direct anterior approach THA
Helps to retract the TFL muscle out of the way, and provides surface area for the fulcrum effect, helping to reduce pressure on the muscle. Narrow designs helpful in minimally invasive surgery. The flared end joins the prongs to help maintain soft tissue retraction away from the broach teeth, while the two prong design helps placement lateral to the tip of the greater trochanter and elevates the femur.
