VerSys® Hip System Cemented Hip Prostheses
For physicians who favor a cemented fixation philosophy, Zimmer offers
design options and surface finishes, each designed to help the surgeon
achieve appropriate joint stability.
In the cemented approach to hip joint replacement, bone cement is used within the femoral canal to help secure the implant in position. The bone cement is a type of grouting material between the bone and implant. Centering the implant within the femoral canal and the cement mantle is very important for stability because it helps distribute stresses evenly.
Zimmer offers centralization devices to help the physician achieve
centralization at the top and bottom of the replacement hip joint. The
VerSys System's cemented hip option provides the physician the opportunity
to create patient specific solutions. 
VerSys® Hip System CRC (Cemented Revision/Calcar)
This cemented implant design is used for revision hip replacement surgery
and provides the physician the opportunity to build-up/replace the calcar
area (an area at the top of the femur-see below) to achieve joint stability.
