GENUS LS MOBILE Tibial insert - Prosthesis, knee, internal, insert component

Intended purpose

A tibial insert component of a tricompartmental rotating platform prosthesis to be used in PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) retaining/sacrificing TKR (Total Knee Replacement) for primary and revision surgery. Main indications: - Primary and secondary arthrosis - Rheumatoid arthritis - Bone necrosis - Revisions, where other devices or treatments have failed.

Functional description

Constructed of UHMWPE. The Lateral Slide insert has been shaped to reproduce the natural knee joint kinematics, and the longitudinal rotation tibial movements during flexion/extension. The medial and the lateral articular hemi-plates have different profiles as in the natural knee joint. As the knee joint the LS insert is asymmetric and therefore it’s available in a left and right version. The articular surface has no posterior inclination (0 degrees).
