MUTARS femoral stem cemented - Uncoated femoral stem prosthesis, modular

Device Dossier for MUTARS femoral stem cemented - Uncoated femoral stem prosthesis, modular (Uncoated femoral stem prosthesis, modular, Class III,…

Intended purpose

A femoral Stem used in cases of major bone loss to support a hip, knee or diaphysis replacement prosthesis and provide primary fixation to the bone. 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.

Functional description

Made of CoCrMo, with sandblasted surface for use with bone cement. Have the MUTARS fit (diam 16 mm H7g6) and serration (72 Teeth) which allows an adjustment of the antetorsion angle in 5 degree steps. The stem is curved to suit the femur’s physiological antecurvature. It has a hexagonal cross section for rotation stability and collar at the proximal end to prevent subsidence. From length 160mm the stems have 5mm diameter distal bore holes for additional fixation with cortical screws.
