Intended purpose

A cemented femoral component of the ACS knee system for use in knee arthroplasty. Knee arthroplasty with the ACS Knee System is indicated, if - severe joint destruction with significant impairment where other therapeutic measures are not more promising. - severe joint pain due to degenerative or rheumatoid arthritis, joint fractures or bone necrosis. - post-operative conditions after previous surgery with or without the use of implants.

Functional description

CoCrMo alloy. Used for the functional replacement of the posterior cruciate ligament. The component is characterized by an open box and the femoral spindle, which interact with the peg of the PE-insert and thus contribute to the posterior stabilization of the knee joint. A size independent box width and height allow for flexibility with the selection of the size of the femoral component and simplify the bone preparation.
