MUTARS tibial spacer silver - Knee wedge

Intended purpose

A component of the MUTARS system intended for bridging bone defects in the proximal tibia. 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. The silver coated surface builds a long term prophylaxis against the colonisation of human pathogenic bacteria such as staphylococcus aureus and epidermis, exclusive enterobacteriae and should not be considered as acute treatment.

Functional description

Composed of TiAl6V4 with silver coating on outer contour. Connected below a MUTARS Tibial Plateau M-O-M component by screws. Can only be combined with a tibial component of the corresponding size. Since they are intended to be used with bone cement, the surfaces have a sandblasted finish. The tibial spacers have slots included for the fins of the tibial component. The spacers have 6 mm diameter bore holes for the screw attachment to the tibial component.
