Intended purpose
Indications for Total Knee Replacement • 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. • Hinge 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 absent or incompetent.
Functional description
Journey II Insert XLPE Deep Dished is an implantable device designed to articulate with the femoral component of a knee joint prosthesis during primary knee joint replacement. They are designed with a high anterior medial lip that provides resistance to posterior tibial motion that could occur when the PCL is non-functional or absent. The lateral condyle is concave with anterior and posterior lips to provide stability in the absence of a post or functional PCL
