Intended purpose

The NexGen® CKS Legacy® Knee LPS-Flex Femoral Component, Option w/ Ti-Nidium® Surface Hardening Process is indicated for patients with severe knee pain and disability due to: - Rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, polyarthritis - Collagen disorders, and/or avascular necrosis of the femoral condyle - Post-traumatic loss of joint configuration, particularly when there is patellofemoral erosion, dysfunction or prior patellectomy - Moderate valgus, varus, or flexion deformities - The salvage of previously failed surgical attempts or for a knee in which satisfactory stability in flexion cannot be obtained at the time of surgery.

Functional description

Designed with an extended posterior condyle radius, providing greater tibio-femoral contact area in deep flexion. The increased contact area reduces the possibility of point loading as flexion approaches 155°. Indicated for use with LPS-Flex Prolong articular surfaces. Manufactured from Tivanium® Ti-6Al-4V alloy with a Ti-Nidium® Surface Hardening Process. For cemented use only.
