2PROCOTYL® L Acetabular Cup System
Design Rationale
The PROCOTYL® L Acetabular Cup System provides unsurpassed surgical flexibility for shell fixation and bearing material choices. The shells are manufactured from titanium alloy, the material of choice for bio-compatibility. An irregularly layered porous titanium bead coating enhances initial fixation and long term bone apposition. An average porosity of 30% allows for enhanced bone on-growth. Cups are available with or without additional hydroxyapatite coating. Three screw holes located in one quadrant of the cup allow for surgical flexibility.
Intra-operative flexibility: PROCOTYL® L Acetabular Cup System system accepts ceramic, metal and and A-CLASS® advanced cross-linked poly liners. Liners are securely locked by the RIM-LOCK fixation system and the 18° internal taper.
PROCOTYL® L acetabular components are recommended to be used in conjunction with PROFEMUR® femoral components and their unique modular neck system.Modular necks allow for optimal restoration of patient’s original hip biomechanics. Independent of the femoral shaft position, it allows control over leg length, offset, alignment and version. Today’s orthopedic surgeons face many challenges with acetabular fixation. As improved mechanical designs, bearing materials and techniques diminish short term failures, the focus has moved to long term survivorship.
The PROCOTYL® L Acetabular Cup System has integrated several design features to address contemporary issues. The intrinsic design features that address contemporary two-piece acetabular cup issues, coupled with multiple liner configurations, make the PROCOTYL® L Acetabular Cup System the choice for surgeons requiring a wide range of primary, revision and bearing material options.The unique internal taper and RIM-LOCK locking groove allows polyethylene, metal, or ceramic bearing liners to be used in a single shell design. A 14° rim flare geometry transfers load to the periphery of the acetabulum, providing long term intrinsic stability. Cups come with three holes for additional fixation by means of screws. From size 44 and up these holes are provided with a plug, including the apical hole.
The 3 in-line screw holes are positioned away from the dome of the cup to achieve a maximum lever arm, optimal purchase in the illiac wing and thereby maximizing stability. The screws have a 200 freedom of direction.

4Chapter 2 Pre-operative Planning
2Pre-operative Planning
Pre-operative PlanningPre-operative assessment of the appropriate size and position of the acetabular component will provide intra-operative guidance for acetabular reaming. A bilateral A/P x-ray of the pelvis will aid in leg length and offset assessment and management. Leg length discrepancies should be determined pre-operatively and addressed intra-operatively.
Radiographic overlays for the PROCOTYL® L Acetabular Cup System are available in 15% magnification, with 0° or 15° liners. To determine the acetabular cup size and position, place the overlay outline at approximately 45° of abduction and the center of rotation within the anatomic center of the acetabular image.
Note: The use of a magnification marker will aid in determining the x-ray magnification.
Caution: Pre-operative templating is intended for estimation purposes only. Final component size and position should be determined intra-operatively.

3Surgical Technique
Preparation of the AcetabulumOsteophytes should be removed to enable assessment of the true acetabular rim. Reaming should be sequential and start with the smallest reamer that conforms to the acetabular cavity. Reaming to the edge of the reamer will mimic a full hemisphere. Gradually enlarge the acetabulum by reaming articular cartilage until a continuous surface of cancellous bone is exposed.
Note: PROCOTYL® L shells come in 2mm increments, ranging from 42 - 68 mm.
Ream to the size of the component to be implanted. This will provide a 2mm press fit at the rim, and a 1mm press fit at the dome.
Reaming depth, acetabular shape and size can be confirmed by using a trial shell sizer.

A trial shell adapter (APA09310) is put onto the tip of the cup inserter instrument before mounting the trial shell which corresponds with the final reamer. The adapter is kept in place by a locking ring; the shell is fixed by turning the central rod of the cup inserter clock-wise. Following trialing the shell and adapter are to be removed from the cup inserter instrument.
Use of the PROCOTYL® L trial acetabular components is strongly suggested in order to verify depth of reaming as the initial stability of the acetabular component is predominatly provided by its rim flare. Reaming therefore needs to be performed sufficiently deep in order to fully seat the cup within the bony cavity.
Note: The trial shells are equal in dimensions to the corresponding final implant but without rim flare and porous coating.
Note: In cases where hard (sclerotic) bone is encountered and/or most of the subchondral plate is kept intact, the user may experience some difficulty inserting the trial shell. This may indicate a very tight fit with the shell and it is recommended that the cavity is reamed up by 1mm. In cases where there is no hard bone and the trial cup can easily be inserted but nevertheless initial final implant stability can not be obtained, it may be of help to ream the acetabular cavity slightly deeper with the last used reamer.

Inserting the Shell
A full series of cup size dedicated adapters (APA09303 - APA09309) is available in the instrument kit. The adapter corresponding to the preferred cup size is put onto the tip of the cup impactor, followed by the acetabular component. The pins on both arms of the adapter are to match the dimples in the face of the cup. This method of stabilization provides full control over the position of the cup at impaction.
Note: The face of the shell has three laser marked lines that correspond to the screw hole locations. Position the marks between the plane of the anterior-superior and the anterior-inferior iliac spine.
Seat the shell with a series of firm mallet blows on the end of the impactor.
Once seated, the cup inserter instrument can be removed by turning the central rod counter-clockwise. Complete seating of the implant can be confirmed through the apical hole.
8
Inserting the Shell (continued)
Screw placement can begin once the shell component is securely positioned and the impactor is removed.
In case re-positioning of the cup is required, the cup inserter instrument can be mounted again and the cup can be removed, re-oriented and re-implanted.If a deeper seating is preferred, it might help to attach the cup impactor tip to the universal rod and use this as a cup inserter device. The flat of the cup impactor tip is to be positioned properly against the flat of the cup dome before hitting the universal handle with a hammer.
Two alignment rods (APA09302) can be mounted on the inserter to aid in positioning the implant at 45° of abduction and 15° of ante-version. Position the longitudinal guide rod 90° to the midline of the patient to position the shell at 45°. Position the transverse guide rod parallel to the midline of the patient as this will place the implant at 15° of inclination. Positions given are based on a posterior approach / affected side up.
Note: The patient might have shifted during surgery and the alignment rods can therefore only be seen as an orientation guide.

Screw Placement and Fixation PROCOTYL® L shells are designed to allow additional fixation by means of screws; the shells come pre-plugged except for size 42 mm shell. Determine screw location and select a suitable length drill bit. Drill bits are provided in 3.2 and 4.5mm diameters; the drill guide is also available in 3.2 and 4.5mm diameters. Insert the drill into the guide and carefully drill through the acetabular cortex.
Use the screw depth gauge to determine the appropriate screw length.
Caution: Due to intra-pelvic vascular structures, screw placement in the medial aspect of the acetabulum must be carefully considered.
Chapter 3 Surgical Technique
10Chapter 3 Surgical Technique
Grasp the screw head with the screw holding forceps and utilize the hex screwdiver to orient and fixate the screw. Centralize the screw to protect the threads from abrasion and assures countersinking of the screw head within the hole. Release the screw holding forceps to allow for countersinking of the screw head, which allows full seating of the prosthetic liner. Full seating of the liner can be confirmed with the use of a trial liner prior to impacting the prosthetic liner, or by manually examining the inner surface of the shell to check if the screw head is proud.
Caution: To ensure proper prosthetic liner seating in the shell, all screw heads must be seated below the inner surface of the shell. Full and unobstructed seating is crucial to implant fit and longevity.
Trial Liner Placement
Trial liners that match the prosthetic implant are available to evaluate the optimum position of the implant and the preferred liner. With the prosthetic shell secured within the reamed cavity, insert the trial liner into the shell.
11
Note: Care should be taken to avoid neck / liner impingement in all potential positions. The acetabular component should be repositioned as necessary to relieve impingement. Alternatively, a change of modular neck could possibly solve the impingement phenomenon.
Position the trial liner in the desired orientation and secure it with the captured screw using a 3.5mm hex screwdriver. If a lipped liner is to be used, a reference mark should be made on the acetabulum to aid in proper positioning of the final liner implant.
Note: The hard-on-hard liners allow for larger bearing diameters than polyethylene liners, which causes an ‘overlap’ in the femoral head size range. The difference between group C 28/32 and group E 32/36 is made clear by trial liner colour coding.
Chapter 3 Surgical Technique
12
Dome Plug InsertionAfter a satisfactory trial reduction and assessment of joint stability, seal the dome hole with the special plug.
Whereas the screw hole plugs are pre-mounted, the dome hole plug comes separate in the packaging (except size 42 mm). The plug can be attached to the tip of the straight hex driver shaft and will be kept in place by the retaining mechanism.
Note: The dome hole plug should not be inserted until a trial reduction with the trial liner is completed.
Liner PlacementAssemble a 0° or 15° lipped liner positioner to the impactor handle. Place the liner and hold it by hand.
Place the liner in the selected position making sure the face of the liner is parallel to the face of the shell. Apply a series of firm mallet blows to fully seat the liner, followed by removal of the inserter.
Chapter 3 Surgical Technique
13Chapter 3 Surgical Technique
Caution: Improper position and impaction of the liner will damage the liner.
Hard-on-hard bearing liners are inserted by hand. The inserter handle with mounted liner positioner is applied and fixation is achieved by some light taps.
Note: Make sure that the rim of the liner is circumferentially flush with the face of the shell before final seating.
14Chapter 3 Surgical Technique
X-linked Poly Liner RemovalTo remove a poly liner, a flexible drill bit with an acetabular drill guide is used to drill a hole slightly off center from the liner apex. Using a 3.5mm hex screwdriver, a cancellous screw (20mm) is then advanced into the drilled hole until the liner is removed.
Ceramic / Metal Liner RemovalTo remove a ceramic or metal liner a liner extractor is used. Position the tip of the liner extractor in a dimple in the face of the cup and apply some short mallet strokes. This results in a counteraction loosening the liner; repetitive action might be necessary.
