MUTARS humerus head - Humeral head prosthesis

Intended purpose

A component of the MUTARS system intended to replace the humeral head as part of a proximal or total humerus reconstruction. Primary indication for the use of the MUTARS systems is after bone resection because of a tumour. Further indications for the use of the MUTARS systems are massive bone loss such as in Morbus Gorham or for the revision arthroplasty and for the prosthetic treatment in case of fractures, pseudarthrosis and arthrosis.
