Functional description

The PS PE insert hyperflex (constructed of UHMWPE) is characterized by the central protruding peg. The bearing surfaces have the congruency of the hyperflex PE?insert. The presence of the femoral spindle and the PE?peg results in a posterior stabilization of the knee joint during articulation between femoral and tibial component. Due to the conical peg on the underside, the PE?insert is also used with the MB tibial components basic and standard.
