MUTARS connecting part for modular proximal tibia silver - Rotating hinged total knee prosthesis

Intended purpose

A component of the MUTARS system intended to be used as a component of a replacement for the proximal section of the tibia as part of a total knee replacement or revision. 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 anti-infective coating. To be combined with the MUTARS modular Proximal Tibia to bridges bone defects in the area of the proximal tibia. Design has a retention ring for securing a PET mesh soft tissue attachment tube. The Connecting Part is attached to the modular Proximal Tibia component by the means of two screws. The distal end of the Connecting Part provides a cylindrical fit connection for connecting with a tibial stem and/or extension piece(s).
