MUTARS® proximal femur
The MUTARS® proximal femur is a modular endoprosthetic system designed for the reconstruction of extensive bone defects in the proximal femur, for example following tumor resections or in complex revision cases.
Its flexible modular design provides the surgeon with intraoperative freedom of decision-making, enabling a situation-specific treatment approach and thereby contributing to optimal clinical outcomes.
Another key feature is the silver coating. The properties of silver are utilized in the coated components to help reduce the risk of infection and increase the longevity of the prosthesis. In addition, the retention rings provide the option for soft tissue reattachment using an attachment tube.1),2),3)
