Sleeve femoral/tibial extensions are implantable metal sleeves designed to restore bone length during joint revision surgeries, particularly in knee or hip arthroplasty. They are attached to prosthetic stems or extensions to compensate for bone loss caused by resection, helping to stabilize the implant and support long-term function.
These devices are typically regulated as implantable orthopedic hardware, often requiring clinical validation for safety and performance. They are supplied sterile and may include fixation hardware, with coatings intended to enhance bone integration. Classification and supply vary by jurisdiction, but they are generally intended for surgical use by trained professionals.
