A sterile device designed to provide additional stability for an implanted knee femur prosthesis by extending the attachment of the prosthesis from the distal femur into the midshaft of the bone. It is typically a shaft-like device made of metal [e.g., cobalt-chrome (Co-Cr)] and is often used in prosthesis revision to compensate for bone loss.
