Functional description
The Saiph APS Knee tibial bearing is part of the Saiph Knee system that features a spherical ball-and-socket geometry on the medial condyle. This design provides a unique level of stability with full congruency maintained throughout flexion and internal tibial rotation. The lateral geometry is designed to permit limited rollback in flexion whilst acting as a stabilising outrigger.
