Intended purpose

A femoral component of a tricompartmental rotating platform prosthesis to be used in PCL (Posterior Cruciate Ligament) sacrificing TKR (Total Knee Replacement) for primary and revision surgery. Main indications: - Primary and secondary arthrosis - Rheumatoid arthritis - Bone necrosis - Revisions, where other devices or treatments have failed

Functional description

Composed of CoCrMo alloy. A posterior stabilized femoral component of a total knee replacement prosthesis for PCL (Posterior Cruciate Ligament) sacrificing. Multi-radius femoral design. Between the two condyles, a cam is located. The mechanical interaction between the cam and the post located on the tibial insert allows the roll-back mechanism to occur. Post and cam have been designed in order to minimize shear stresses. To be fixed with bone cement.
