We are excited to share that Tulsa Bone & Joint surgeon Travis Small, DO, was one of the first clinical users of the Icona™ femoral stem, a triple-taper, fully coated cementless implant developed by Corin Group. The surgery was performed at Saint Francis Hospital in Tulsa. Icona™ is designed to ease implantation in muscle-sparing approaches, such as the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA). Key features include a reduced proximal lateral shoulder, a swept distal tip, and a 15-degree angled insertion feature, all engineered to simplify insertion and minimize soft tissue disruption. The system incorporates offset hybrid broaches with combined extraction and compaction tooth geometries, enabling efficient, reproducible canal preparation. “The Icona™ femoral stem delivers on all fronts: it was developed using the largest CT dataset ever applied to stem design, utilizing advanced statistical shape modelling to optimize fit for a wide range of patient anatomies. This thoughtful engineering makes it, in my view, the best triple-taper stem on the market, offering unmatched versatility, stability, and biomechanical restoration for an anatomical range of patients,” said Dr. Small. Congratulations on being a leader of this new technology, Dr. Small!
