METS Distal Femoral Modular system, Femoral Stem - Body femoral/tibial extension stem, uncoated

Intended purpose

The Femoral Stem is a component of the METS Distal Femoral Modular, which is designed as a modular system that can be used to replace diseased or deficient bone in the distal. The METS Distal Femoral System consists of a SMILES Knee system, a range of shafts in 15mm increments to suit differing lengths of resections, a range of hydroxyapatite coated and uncoated collars of different diameters to match the size of the resected bone and a range of cemented stems to fit the intramedullary canal. Individual components of the femoral shaft are connected using interlocking taper junctions allowing quick and easy assembly. It is indicated for: • Limb salvage procedures where radical resection and replacement of the bone is required • Painful and disabled joint resulting from avascular necrosis osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis ortraumatic arthritis • Correction of varus, valgus or post traumatic deformity • Correction of revision of unsuccessful osteotomy, arthrodesis, or previous joint replacement • Ligament deficiencies • Tumor resections • Revision of previously failed total joint arthroplasty • Trauma

Functional description

The femoral stem is available in Ø10 to Ø15mm curved titanium stems increasing in 1mm increment, 150mm in length, suitable for short to medium resection. Ø14 and Ø15mm straight titanium stems, 100mm in length, suitable for very long resection.
