Modular design osseous substitution prosthesis

Abstract

Abstract Osseous substitution prosthesis of modular design adequate for the osseous substitutions of the femur proximal zone, up to the 2/3 of the upper portion of the femur, which has of a metaphisary component, of one or various accumulable diaphisis components and of an intramedullar stem, such that in order to join the metaphisary component, one or various diaphisis components and the intramedullar stem a screw which holds the prosthesis being screwed onto the intramedullar stem is used. The metaphisary component is unique and therefore common to all the interventions and has a medial opening, and the diaphisiary components vary in their lengths from one size to another in a small and fixed quantity rate such that the maximum error that might be committed is precisely the value of that very small established quantity rate. The intramedullar stem may be of different lengths and diameters which are chosen depending on the patient's medular canal diameter and on the bone quality; and in order to improve its fixation, once introduced in the healthy bone, cortical screws are used which hold transversally the lateral tongue of the stem to the bone.
