Bore holes (6.5 mm diameter) are provided for the 6.5 mm MK spacer attachment screws used to secure the spacers to the femoral component. A component of the MUTARS system intended for used for bridging bone defects on the medial and lateral aspects of the distal femur. Primary indication for the use of the MUTARS systems is after bone resection because of a tumour. Further indications for the use of the MUTARS systems are massive bone loss such as in Morbus Gorham or for the revision arthroplasty and for the prosthetic treatment in case of fractures, pseudarthrosis and arthrosis.
