Body femoral/tibial extension stems are implantable devices designed to restore structural integrity in the femur or tibia during complex joint revisions. They extend into the bone’s medullary canal, compensating for bone loss or resection while serving as a foundation for modular prosthesis components, often in cases of severe osteoarthritis or trauma.
These devices are typically made from durable metals like cobalt-chrome or titanium and feature specialized coatings—such as porous surfaces or hydroxyapatite—to enhance bone integration. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified as implantable surgical instruments, subject to premarket review and post-market surveillance depending on local medical device laws.
