Abstract
A temporary knee replacement assembly and kit includes a tibial plate that attaches to the tibia, a tibial rod that extends through the plate into the medullary cavity and abuts the plate. A femoral plate attaches to the femur, and a femoral rod extends through the second plate into the femur medullary cavity and abuts the plate. A locking spacer connects the two rods. The spacer may be length adjustable or may be provided in multiple sizes for length selection. One or both of the rods may include a bone cement/antibiotic coating to provide antibiotic treatment to the tissue. The kit may include multiple tibial and femoral rods, multiple tibial and femoral plates, and multiple locking spacers, to accommodate different applications.
