Intended purpose

The femoral component of the Modular Bone and Joint Revision System indicated for use in tumor and revision surgery 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 • 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 Oncological and revision surgery from tibial to hip area (in conjunction with Rotational and Hinge Knee Prostheses)

Functional description

The Link Femoral Component IntraCondylar Replacement Megasystem C articulates with the tibial component of the Modular Bone and Joint revision system MEGASYSTEM-C. The component is made from CoCrMo and UHMWPE, containing a patellar flange, and is equipped with an anti-luxation device. It contains an inner 12/14 female taper and is cementable
