Distial Femoral Augment (Including srews)

Key Features and Benefits of Distal Femoral Augment

Distal Femoral Augment is a specialized orthopedic implant designed to enhance the durability and stability of the distal portion of the femur in knee joint replacement procedures. This innovative implant provides added support to the distal femur, reducing the risk of implant failure and improving overall knee joint function. Distal Femoral Augment is available in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different patient anatomies and surgical requirements. The implant is crafted from biocompatible materials, ensuring minimal tissue reaction and long-term durability. By restoring natural knee joint motion and reducing pain, Distal Femoral Augment contributes to improved patient outcomes and enhanced quality of life.

Indications for Distal Femoral Augment

Distal Femoral Augment is a specialized orthopedic implant designed to enhance the durability and stability of the distal portion of the femur in knee joint replacement procedures. It is indicated for patients who:

• Require knee joint replacement: Patients with severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or other conditions that have led to significant damage to the knee joint may benefit from knee joint replacement.
• Need additional support for the distal femur: Patients with specific anatomical or surgical challenges that may compromise the durability of the distal femur may benefit from Distal Femoral Augment.
• Have a history of implant failure: Patients who have experienced implant failure in previous knee joint replacement procedures may be considered for Distal Femoral Augment to provide added support and stability.
• Desire a durable and reliable implant: Distal Femoral Augment is designed to enhance the durability and longevity of the knee joint replacement, reducing the risk of implant failure and improving overall patient outcomes.
• Have realistic expectations: Patients should have realistic expectations about the benefits and potential risks of knee joint replacement surgery.

How Does The Distal Femoral Augment Work

Distal Femoral Augment is a specialized orthopedic implant designed to enhance the durability and stability of the distal portion of the femur in knee joint replacement procedures. It typically consists of a metal or ceramic implant that is secured to the distal femur using screws or cement.

During knee joint replacement surgery, the surgeon places the Distal Femoral Augment on the distal end of the femur, ensuring proper alignment and positioning. The implant is then secured in place using the appropriate fixation techniques. Once in place, Distal Femoral Augment provides additional support to the distal femur, reducing the risk of implant failure and improving overall knee joint stability.

The biocompatible materials used in Distal Femoral Augment ensure minimal tissue reaction and long-term durability. By enhancing the strength and stability of the distal femur, Distal Femoral Augment contributes to improved knee joint function, reduced pain, and enhanced patient outcomes.
