Abstract:
A modular knee system comprising:a hinged femoral component and a distal femoral component; a plurality of first stem components each having a distal tapered male end, the first stem components being selectively compatible with the hinged femoral component; a plurality of first adaptors, â€œwherein each adaptor has two tapers of different sizes, the two tapers of different sizes being selectively compatible with the first stem components and the distal femoral componentâ€ ; a hinge component connected to a tibial insert, the hinge component and tibial insert being selectively compatible with the hinged femoral component and the distal femoral component; a hinged tibial component and a proximal tibial component selectively compatible with the tibial insert; a plurality of second stem components each having a proximal tapered male end, the second stem components being selectively compatible with the hinged tibial component; and a plurality of second adaptors, â€œwherein each adaptor has two tapers of different sizes, the two tapers of different sizes being selectively compatible with the second stem components and the proximal tibial componentâ€ .
