Which Legion component has a thickness of 5.5 mm?

• A. Legion Cemented Stems
• B. Legion Female Tapered Baseplate
• C. Legion Male Tapered Baseplate
• D. Legion Augments

Answer: (B)

In this line of implants, exact thickness values are a defining feature of each component. The Legion Female Tapered Baseplate is designed with a fixed thickness of 5.5 mm, which is chosen to seat correctly with its mating male taper and align properly within the acetabular cup assembly. Cemented stems are characterized by length and diameter rather than a single thickness, and augments come in a range of thicknesses to fill bone defects. The male tapered baseplate also isn’t specified at 5.5 mm in standard kits. So the 5.5 mm thickness is a specific spec of the female tapered baseplate, making it the correct component for that measurement.
