The Endo-Exo-Femurprosthesis is a transcutaneous, press-fit distal femoral intramedullary device with the distal, external aspect serving as a hard point for attachment of an above-the- knee prosthesis.

The device is a porous modular construct with a smoothly polished coupler exiting distally through the skin. Horst Heinrich Aschoff et al. J Bone Joint Surg Am 2010;92:180-186 ©2010 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc.
