NextStep Arthropedix, a growing orthopedic implants and procedures company, today announced the launch of TheRay™ Collared and Collarless Hip System.

TheRay by NextStep offers progressive lateralization, providing a progressively greater horizontal offset with each size, while still maintaining leg length, vertical offset, and neck angle. The stem is designed to more accurately match anatomical variations and consistencies for optimal biomechanical reconstruction.

TheRay Hip System includes acetabular cups (available in solid, holed, and multi-holed options), acetabular liners (available in neutral, hooded, face-changing, and lateralized (+5mm) options, femoral heads (available in Mg-PSZ ceramic, BIOLOX® delta and CoCr alloy), and femoral stems (offered in sizes ranging from 0 to 9, in collared and collarless versions and available in both standard and lateralized offsets).

Randy Theken, Founder of NextStep Arthropedix, expressed his excitement over the system. “We are very excited to launch TheRay™ by NextStep Arthropedix. The design is the product of our team listening to the feedback of our partner surgeons and developing a solution that meets the diverse needs of patients who are looking for the best and most stable hip replacement possible.”

NextStep will officially introduce the TheRay™ by NextStep Arthropedix during the American Academy of Hip and Knee Surgeon (AAHKS) meeting in Dallas, TX November 7-10, and is scheduled for full commercial release in the fourth quarter of 2024.
