A diaphysis prosthesis is a custom-made implant designed to replace the shaft (diaphysis) of long bones like the humerus, femur, or tibia when they are severely damaged or lost due to conditions such as infection, trauma, or cancer. These modular devices provide structural support and long-term stability, often used in complex cases where traditional fixation methods fail to restore proper bone function.
These devices are typically regulated as high-risk implants, requiring strict compliance with manufacturing standards and clinical validation. They are usually supplied as kits with both sterile and non-sterile components, along with specialized surgical tools, and may be used with or without bone cement during implantation.
