The unique plate-screw combination, which acts as an internal fixator, guarantees stable long term reconstruction. The patented locking system ensures rigid and functionally stable fixation of the bone. All plates are made from pure titanium which is biocompatible and well tolerated by irradiated tissue. The system includes a Temporary Condylar Head Prosthesis, which offers vertical adjustability and medial positioning of the prosthesis head. The instrument set contains the essential tools, which are compatible with the user-friendly components of the MODUS system.
The vertically adjustable condylar replacement with medial positioning of the prosthesis head is used to compensate for the loss of the bony condyle. The dimensions of the prosthesis are based on anthropometric data. Right and left versions of the Condylar Head Prosthesis and two different lengths of the Carrier Element permit optimal adaptation of the implant to the patient’s anatomy.
