Medacta has announced the launch of 3DMetal femoral cones for knee revision arthroplasty after receiving FDA clearance.
The femoral cones can be used for structural support in areas of bone deficiencies that may compromise revision implant fixation, according to a Sept. 29 press release. They're made with a triple-layer structure with a full-density middle layer to avoid cement protrusion through the outer layer pores, which boosts the mechanical properties of the implant.
"The 3DMetal Femoral Cones from Medacta are extremely versatile, utilize the clinically proven 3DMetal technology and are very user friendly for surgeons looking to restore metaphyseal and metadiaphyseal structures from which to build a revision TKA construct," David Manning, MD, vice chair of the department of orthopaedic surgery at Northwestern University said in the statement. "The addition of these cones to the Medacta revision portfolio allows me to efficiently and reliably tackle the most difficult femoral revision scenarios."
