Locking Cage™- Revision Acetabular Hip System
Dear Surgeons,
This month we are highlighting what we consider a ‘hidden gem’ our United Orthopedic portfolio, the United Locking Cage™, a Revision Acetabular Hip System.
Why are we sharing this with you? There are 2 reasons.
First, we have several surgeons who use the United Locking Cage regularly and have provided positive feedback on the system’s value.
Second, the number of implant companies offering this type of system is limited, so we want you to know that we have this solution if it may be a good fit for your practice.
If you are interested in learning more, please contact your local United Orthopedic agent, Area Vice President, or Pete Waterman @781.405.9469 or peter.waterman@unitedorthopedic.com anytime. Thank you!

The Conformity Stem platform provides a comprehensive stem solution to hip arthroplasty surgery. Conformity is available in 77 stem options with 155μm of fully-hydroxyapatite (HA) coating, multiple neck options, collared and collarless features, and cementless and cemented options.
Conformity’s design is based upon the widely accepted HA-coated stem design, which is well documented to facilitate stem fixation, stability, and longevity. The system is designed to help address deficiencies of other systems currently on the market. By offering multiple neck options with both collared and collarless options, United Orthopedic created a hip system that could be individualized to help recreate the anatomy of as many patients as possible.
Additionally, Conformity is designed for minimally invasive surgical techniques as well as other different surgical approaches. The goal? To satisfy the needs of all surgeons. Edwin Su, MD (HSS), Conformity’s designing surgeon, has said about the system:
