METS Proximal Tibial Modular System Integral Tibial Shaft & Stem, Rotating Hinge for use with Tibial Collar - Knee stem

Intended purpose

The Proximal Tibial Modular System, Integral tibial shaft & stem, rotating hinge (for use with tibial collar) is a component of the METS Proximal Tibial Modular System which is designed as a modular system that can be used to replace diseased or deficient bone in the proximal tibia. The indications for this modular massive endoprosthetic system are: • Primary bone tumours • Secondary tumours arising in bone • Non-neoplastic conditions affecting the shafts of long bones • Failed joint replacements • Failed massive replacements’

Functional description

The Integral tibial shaft & stem, rotating hinge is a 70mm long titanium shaft with integral stem and optional collar components for the fixed hinged proximal tibial replacement. It is intended for very short resections, and must be used with any of the hydroxyapatite coated collars. Holding the proximal tibial component with the spigot pointing upwards, insert the integral shaft/stem construct ensuring that the alignment lug is correctly engaged. For Cemented use only.
