Functional description
A nonporous oxidized zirconium (ZR-2,5NB) cruciate retaining femoral component having a lateralized trochlear groove with S-curve at the base to funnel the patellar toward the midline for better patella tracking in deep flexion. The femoral component articulates with the tibial base articular insert component. Following resection of the femur and trialing to assess the range of motion the femoral component is implanted with cement and impacted to fully seat the implant.
