Intended purpose

The JOURNEY II BCS Knee System is indicated for rheumatoid arthritis; post-traumatic arthritis, osteoarthritis, or degenerative arthritis; failed osteotomies, unicompartmental replacement, or total knee replacement. Posterior stabilized knee systems are designed for use in patients in primary and revision surgery, where the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments are incompetent and the collateral ligaments remain intact. Constrained knee systems are designed for use in patients in primary and revision surgery, where the posterior cruciate ligament and one or both of the collateral ligaments (i.e. medial collateral and/or lateral collateral ligament) are incompetent. The device is indicated for use only in surgeries where the patella is resurfaced.

Functional description
