Universal Stem

Uses of Universal Stem

1. Connection of Proximal Femur Replacement:
   • Stability and Integration: The universal stem serves as a crucial connector between the proximal femur replacement and the healthy medullary bone, ensuring stable fixation and promoting effective load transfer across the joint.
   • Modular Flexibility: Its design allows for customization to fit various implant sizes and shapes, accommodating different patient anatomies.
2. Connection of Distal Femur Replacement:
   • Enhanced Stability: By connecting the distal femur replacement to the healthy bone medulla, the universal stem provides the necessary stability for the knee joint, facilitating normal movement and function.
   • Improved Load Distribution: This connection aids in redistributing mechanical loads during activities, helping to prevent stress concentrations that could lead to implant failure.
3. Connection of Proximal Tibia Replacement:
   • Comprehensive Joint Functionality: The universal stem allows for seamless integration of the proximal tibia replacement with the existing bone, enhancing the stability of the knee joint and supporting effective movement.
   • Facilitation of Soft Tissue Attachment: It can also provide attachment points for surrounding ligaments and tendons, further improving joint function.
4. Mid Shaft Femoral Replacement:
   • Long Bone Reconstruction: The universal stem is ideal for mid-shaft femoral replacements, providing strong support and stability to the mid femur, which is critical for weight-bearing activities.
   • Support for Extensive Defects: It can bridge significant bone defects or losses due to trauma or disease, ensuring the integrity of the femoral shaft and promoting healing.
