Universal Extension

Uses of Universal Extension

1. Gap and Defect Filling:
   • Bone Defect Repair: The universal extension is designed to fill gaps and defects in the cortical bone resulting from resections due to trauma, tumors, or degenerative conditions. By bridging these gaps, it helps restore structural integrity and stability to the bone.
   • Support for Prosthetic Integration: When used in conjunction with a replacement prosthesis, the universal extension facilitates secure connections to the universal stem, ensuring a stable fixation that supports proper load distribution across the joint.
2. Connection for Total Femur Replacement:
   • Complete Femoral Reconstruction: The universal extension can be connected to various components to form a complete total femur prosthesis. This modularity allows for customizable designs tailored to individual patient anatomies and surgical needs.
   • Improved Range of Motion and Functionality: By forming a continuous structure with the universal extension, the total femur replacement can restore near-normal joint mechanics, improving patient mobility and quality of life.
3. Enhanced Stability and Load Bearing:
   • Strengthening the Implant: The universal extension reinforces the overall stability of the implant, ensuring that it can withstand the mechanical forces encountered during daily activities.
   • Promoting Osseointegration: The design may include surface treatments or features that promote bone growth around the extension, aiding in long-term integration with the host bone.
