ABSTRACT:
An augmentation system for a femoral component of a knee prosthesis includes a main augmentation block and a secondary block disposed within the main augmentation block. The secondary block is adjustably positioned within the main augmentation block such that relative motion between the two facilitates easy and secure fixture of the augmentation system within a prosthesis. The augmentation system of the invention can be used with either left or right side prostheses.
