Functional description

The e.motion® posterior stabilized design (PS) offers free rotational movement. A defined degree of roll-back of the femoral component is managed by means of the cam-and-post mechanism of the femoral implant and PE onlay. This design prevents the femur component from gliding in an anterior direction from a flexion of 60° or more. e.motion® PS is made from CoCrMo alloy and is for cemented use.
