A modular femoral internal implant system for use in the treatment of femoral disorders resulting from injury, disease or congenital defect includes at least three interconnectable components: 1) an elongated epiphyseal/metaphyseal implant, 2) an intramedullary rod and 3) an angled side plate having an elongated plate portion adapted to be secured to the outer cortical wall and a hollow sleeve adapted to extend into the femur. The epiphyseal/metaphyseal implant can be connected to either the angled side plate or the intramedullary rod. The system may also include an elongated bone plate connectable to the angled side plate, one or more additional epiphyseal/metaphyseal implants of variable length, an additional angled side plate, a distal buttress plate connectable to the elongated bone plate, and a plurality of bone screws of a universal design. Preferably, many or all of the components of the system are made of an inert, resilient titanium-base alloy.

A kit for use in the amelioration of a number of different types of femoral disorders resulting from injury, disease or congenital defect with a minimal number of interconnectable components, said kit comprising at least the following components: an elongated epiphyseal/metaphyseal implant having a leading end portion and a trailing end portion and adapted to grip bone at its leading end portion; an intramedullary rod having a distal end and a proximal end; an angled side plate comprising an elongated plate portion adapted to be secured to the outer cortical wall of the femoral shaft and an integral hollow sleeve extending at an angle from one end of the plate portion so that said hollow sleeve extends into the femur when the plate portion is secured to said cortical wall, said hollow sleeve having a free end opposed to the end of said sleeve adjoining said plate portion; and means for connecting the epiphyseal/metaphyseal implant to the intramedullary rod adjacent to one of the ends of the rod with the epiphyseal/metaphyseal implant at an angle with respect to the intramedullary rod, with the components of said kit being configured and dimensioned such that the elongated epiphyseal/metaphyseal implant is capable of being connected to the angled side plate by the insertion of the trailing end portion of the epiphyseal/metaphyseal implant into said hollow sleeve through the free end of said sleeve and the elongated epiphyseal/metaphyseal implant is also capable of being connected alternatively to the intramedullary rod with the use of said connecting means.
