- GMDN category: Press-fit hip femur prosthesis, modular
Intended purpose
Modular Stem component of the MP Reconstruction Prosthesis is indicated for use in treatment of mobility-limiting diseases, fractures or defects of the hip joint and the proximal femur which cannot be treated by conservative or osteosynthetic procedures • Revision arthroplasty due to juxta-articular bone defects • Revision of loosened femoral prosthesis components involving extensive bone resorption of the proximal femur and widening of the medullary cavity or marked thinning of proximal femoral cortical bone • Revision of loosened femoral prosthesis components by peri-/ subprosthetic fracture • Deformed proximal femur due to fractures or osteotomies • Correction of bone deficiencies, e.g. due to tumors • Large post-revision and post-trauma segmental bone defects
Functional description
A porous coated modular cementless femoral stem made from Tilastan titanium alloy is designed for the revision of failed hip stems in case of extensive proximal bone loss provides distal fixation without impending bone remodelling in proximal femur. Tapered fluted stems offer less stiffness.
