Functional description
The UHMWPE Columbus UC fixed gliding surface is used in combination with the Columbus CR femoral component and the Columbus CR/PS or CRA/PSA tibial plateau.The PCL sacrificing gliding surface corresponds to the selected tibial plateau size and is intended to use in patients with stable ligamentary apparatus.The design is characterised by a deep concavity in the sagittal plane with a ventrally elevated edge offering stability in the AP plane when resecting the PCL without femoral bone loss.
