   Arlington, Tennessee  --  Orthopedic manufacturer MicroPort Orthopedics has announced the launch of a new hip stem product.

Called the Profemur Preserve Hip Stem, the device is a short stem that is designed to provide physicians with tissue-friendly approaches to hip replacement.

The company says that shorter stems help to "preserve bone, which facilitates future revisions through a wider range of treatment options."

The device was designed to "maximize head center coverage... Resulting in an optimized Stamm with virtually no technique learning curve."

Dr. Phillip Merritt of Glendale, California has performed the first two hip replacement surgeries using the new device.

MicroPort says that it provides hip and knee products to patients in over 60 countries around the world.
