Corin Minhip Hip Replacement Device by Cormet
Combining the bone conserving benefits of hip resurfacing with the stability
of traditional total hip replacement, MiniHip provides a neck retaining, more
physiologically loading hip solution for today’s challenging, active patient.
The bone conserving
solution for active patients.
Today’s patients have redefined primary hip
replacement through elevated expectations and clinical requirements. MiniHip, a
bone conserving hip replacement, has been specifically designed to address these
needs.
Activity
Combining the bone conserving benefits of hip resurfacing with the stability
of traditional total hip replacement, MiniHip provides a solution for today’s
challenging, active patient.
Proximal neck geometryInnovatively designed ‘fit and fill’ neck geometry is designed to provide immediate and long-term proximal stability, that may allow increased activity levels. |
Short stem designExplicitly designed for bone conservation, the short stem is implanted through a mid-neck resection, leaving the diaphysis intact which may enable an ealier return to activity. |
Cementless Bi-coat
Proven cementless Bi-coat uses an
initial scratch fit, creating the necessary friction that may promote
bone integration for an enduring implant in the active patient (1,2,).
Versatility
Intra-operative flexibility allows a seamless transition between hip
resurfacing and total hip replacement, coupled with a range of high performance
bearings to provide dedicated patient-matched solutions.
Efficiency
Specialized instrumentation designed for all smaller
incision approaches, combined with a practical three-stage technique, provides
for reproducible results and optimizes operating room efficiency.

The Implant
With its bone conserving stem and range of articulations, MiniHip provides a
solution for today’s challenging and active patient:
- Mid-neck resection for preservation of the femoral neck.
- Short stem to conserve bone for a less invasive procedure.
- Titanium alloy for increased bio-compatibility.
- Multiple high performance articulations.
- Polished slim neck for increased range of motion.
- Fins for increased rotational stability.
- Medial curve following medial calcar radius for a more anatomical bone
conserving fit. - Bi-coat for initial fixation and osteointegration(1,2).
- Polished distal tip to prevent distal fixation, may help to reduce the
risk of anterior thigh pain(3). - Seven sizes with increasing neck length for a proportional fit.
