Knee arthrodesis prosthesis

Definition

A fused (non-articulating) replacement for the knee joint intended to be implanted after failed primary knee arthroplasty and which functions as a bridge between the resected metaphyses of the femur and tibia. It is a modular device that typically includes resection elements (spacers), intramedullary nails (inserted into the intramedullary canal), screws, and connectors all made of metal [e.g., titanium (Ti)]; components are both sterile and non-sterile. Instruments for implantation are typically included and implantation may be performed with or without bone cement.
