Device type (GMDN): Body femoral/tibial extension stem, coated

A sterile implantable device intended to provide an extension of, or coupling with, other components of a modular femoral/tibial prosthesis in the medullary canal to compensate for bone loss during revision arthroplasty or bone resection. The device is a solid/dense body made of metal [e.g., cobalt-chrome (Co-Cr), titanium (Ti), stainless steel] and is coated with a material (e.g., porous materials, hydroxyapatite) intended to improve fixation and stability by promoting bone ingrowth. Fixation devices for implantation (e.g., screws and bolts) may be included.
