Implant Fixation

Extra Cortical Plates

First developed in the 1950s from research and bone tumour cases and reintroduced in the 1990s, the latest generation of extra cortical plate technology provides patients with excellent long term fixation and implant stability. This technique is particularly beneficial in cases where there is insufficient intra medullary canal length available to fit a conventional stemmed prosthesis.

Intra Cortical Plates

Intra cortical plates were developed for implant fixation into the metaphyseal and diaphyseal regions of bone where a conventional stemmed prosthesis could not be used. This type of fixation offers additional options for limb sparing surgery.
