Functional description

The symmetric ACS FB PS PE?inserts are fixed to the tibial component via a snap?fit mechanism. The PS PE?insert hyperflex is characterized by the central protruding peg. The bearing surfaces feature the same congruency as the PE?insert hyperflex. 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. Constructed of UHMWPE.
