Description:
A Taylor Hobson Talyrond monitors the cone angle on modular stems and heads by measuring a number of circular traces. There is a requirement to control the taper on the head and stem as this affects the rigidity of the implant. The included angle affects the fit of the stem into the head and the roughness affects the quality of bond (copyright Taylor Hobson).
