ABSTRACT:
A femoral prosthesis component system particularly for knee revision surgery comprising a set of femoral implant components constructed around a set of geometrical constants which allows resection of the distal femur to be conducted using the intramedullary canal as a reference point and without the requirement of first measuring for a specific implant size. The construction of all the components in the set is based around a constant relationship between the intramedullary shaft and the anterior flange such that the anterior resection is the same regardless of the size of the component used and the distal and posterior resections are standard cuts made based on this relationship and the intramedullary canal reference point. Adjustment of the distal and posterior resections to fit is made with a set of augments having dimensions also based on the standard distal and posterior resection cuts.
