PROXIMAL RECONSTRUCTION IN ULTIMATE SITUATIONS

The PRIUS system (Proximal Reconstruction In Ultimate Situations) is adapted to the reconstruction and the osteosynthesis of the proximal femur in cases of important losses of bone stock, and cases of invasive ablation of the material to be revised.

Indicated for per-trochanteric fractures, revisions of SOFCOT stages 2 and 3, and for revisions associated with a trans-femoral approach, the PRIUS system is modular. The system articulates around a proximal component available in 4 lengthes and an intra-medullary component available in right or curved  versions, and in several lengthes and diameters.

The femoral implant can be completed by a hook-plate meant to re-attach a trochanteric fragment, or to provide synthesis for a trans-femoral flap. The hook is planned to be directly secured to the proximal component.

The hook-plate can also be used alone for indications of pseudarthrosis of the greater trochanter or osteosynthesis of a sub-implant femoral fracture.
