NON-MODULAR, STEMMED, FEMORAL COMPONENT AND METHOD FOR TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY

摘要

A non-modular, stemmed, femoral component for setting of a femur in total knee arthroplasty to obtain additional support and fixation, the femur including an anterior flange, an anterior cortex, a medullary canal, and an intercondylar notch, comprising a femoral component including a back; a non-modular stem fixed to the back of the femoral component and configured to be in line with the medullary canal, posterior to the anterior flange to allow space for the anterior cortex, and anterior to the intercondylar notch to prevent interruption of insertion of a posterior cruciate ligament, if the posterior cruciate ligament is to be maintained, when applied to the femur during setting of a femur in total knee arthroplasty.
