About

Friendly Short combines a short stem design with a four-generation-long cementing technique.

Clinical outcomes show a fast functional recovery for patients thanks to the good stress distribution and stability of the Friendly Short Stem. The optimized cement mantle thickness and stem centralization makes Friendly Short preferable in cases of one-stage revision procedures following cases of infection.
