Intended purpose

The neck segment is the proximal component of the Modular Bone and Joint Revision System indicated for tumor and revision surgery as an artificial substitute for the knee stem intended to be used for mobility-limiting diseases, fractures or defects of the hip joint, the proximal and distal femur through the proximal tibia (only in combination with Endo-Model Rotational and Hinge Knee SL or modular) 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

The neck segment massive with 12/14 taper is proximal component of the assembly made from Tilastan titanium alloy.
