Adjustable system for condylar head reconstruction.
The Condylar Head Add-on System is designed to provide temporary reconstruction of the mandibular condyle in patients undergoing disarticulation resection of the mandible as part of ablative tumor surgery.
Key Features & BenefitsUsed with reconstruction plates
The Condylar Head Add-on System is used with a reconstruction plate. It can be used with either of the following systems:
- MatrixMANDIBLE – the condylar head add-on can attach to either the 2.5 mm thick reconstruction plate or the 2.8 mm thick reconstruction plate.
- 2.4 UniLOCK reconstruction plate.
Optimal fit in the patient’s glenoid fossa
To achieve optimal fit in the patient’s glenoid fossa, the system includes four fixation plates which allow height adjustment of the condylar head add-on relative to the proximal end of the reconstruction plate (from 0 mm to 6 mm in 2 mm increments).
