Functional description
A polyethylene (UHMWPE) patellar component which is convex on both the articular and the fixation surfaces. The design maximizes polyethylene thickness at its central area which is often subjected to higher contact stress. The domed articular surface is congruent with the femoral component. It is intended to be implanted with bone cement.
