LINK Orthopaedics originated 70 years ago in Hamburg, Germany. Because LINK views finding solutions for the seemingly impossible as a challenge, they develop and produce innovative prostheses. Producing quality down to the last measure requires perfect synchronization of materials, employees and machines. LINK prostheses are formed at the most modern CNC processing centers, which were constructed especially for the company’s specific quality requirements. In the years ahead LINK will focus even more intensely on hip, knee, tumor and revision prosthetics. OrthoGrow is LINKs exclusive agent for the full hip and limb salvage portfolio. LINK intends to set standards with superior solutions and is represented in all major world markets. 

Key products are highlighted below. For a full portfolio overview, please visit the LINK website or contact us at info@ortho-grow.com. ​

LINK Megasystem-C

The modular tumor and revision system MEGASYSTEM-C® allows partial bone replacements both in the proximal and distal femur in small increments as well as a total replacement of the femur. Observation of biomechanical load and anchoring principles, and experience from the application of proven implant components, successfully tested over a long period, allow utmost safety of the system and thus good prospects for the surgical outcome.

Characteristics:

• Maximum intraoperative flexibility using highly modular implant components
• ​Compatible with standard implant systems (MP® Hip Revision System and Endo-Model® knee joint components)
• Proven and clinically tested coupling mechanisms
• Cementable and cementless anchoring stems
• Leg length adjustment in 10 mm increments
• Easy-to-handle, system-integrated instrumentation
• Broad indication range
• Microporous Implant surfaces support bone ongrowth
• Surface modifications available upon request

LINK MP reconstruction prosthesis

The MP® reconstruction prosthesis is designed for the replacement of loosened hip prostheses with extensive proximal femoral defects, which no longer permit implantation of standard prostheses. The different prosthesis components form a modular system consisting of a prosthetic head, stem, tapered neck segment, spacers for equalizing leg length and an expansion bolt. It allows optimal adaptation to the patient's anatomical requirements, such as correction of leg length, lateralization of the leg, and adjustment for correct anteversion.

Characteristics:

• Distal, cementless or cemented stem anchoring
• Tapered stem shape ensures reliable anchoring
• Longitudinal fluting provides rotational stability at the distal stem
• 3° angle in the upper stem segment facilitates implantation and resists rotational forces
• The micro porous or HX® (calcium phosphate) coated surface promotes bone ongrowth
• Various modular neck components to provide an intraoperative adjustment of the anteversion and lateralisation
• Spacers allow intraoperative correction of the leg length up to 30 mm
• The modular connection of the MP® is located much more proximal, where there is less strain on the connection, avoiding potential fatigue fractures associated with mid-stem morse taper connection designs.

Next to megaprostheses and revision, LINK also offers innovative stems such as the CFP short stem and the SP-CL anatomically adapted cementless hip system, both targeting young and active patients, as well as the Lubinus SP II, the most frequently used implant for cemented hip joint replacement in Sweden with a survival rate of 94,7% after 16 years. OrthoGrow can offer the IP cup and CombiCup for cementend and cementless fixation. For a full portfolio overview, please visit the LINK website or contact us at info@ortho-grow.com. ​​
