G7 Acetabular System vs. Exceed ABT Acetabular System in THA

The Biomet G7™ Acetabular System has been designed to provide more options to surgeons for treatment of patients needing total hip arthroplasty, while concurrently simplifying the surgical process with well-designed, modular components and corresponding instruments. The G7™ Acetabular System includes three liner types; ArComXL highly-crosslinked or E-1 Vitamin E-infused polyethylnene and a Biolox Delta (Ceramtec, Plochingen, Germany) ceramic liner.

The Exceed ABT Acetabular System has been designed for cementless fixation and consists of an acetabular shell and an acetabular insert. The acetabular insert/bearing includes a tapered outer geometry that matches the inner geometry of the acetabular shell and an inner hemispherical geometry to suit the varying modular head diameters. Inserts/bearings are inserted into the acetabular shell intra-operatively and are available in varying sizes to match the acetabular shell diameters. The insert/bearings are available in Biolox Delta ceramic (CeramTec AG).
