Which term describes the method that creates additional offset in Synergy by moving the neck medially?

• A. Constant (Static) neck length with variable head lengths
• B. High Offset Neck Length (Medialized Neck)
• C. Offset Neck Plug
• D. Neck length with zero offset

Answer: (B)

Offset here is about how far the prosthetic neck is positioned from the joint’s center, affecting the lever arm and soft-tissue tension. Moving the neck toward the midline, i.e., medializing it, increases this offset. The term High Offset Neck Length (Medialized Neck) directly captures this idea: it describes using a neck length option that places the neck medially to create more offset than a standard configuration. This approach is what creates the additional lateral balance and joint mechanics you’re targeting. The other options don’t describe moving the neck medially to add offset, so they don’t fit the concept.
