A cemented tibial component of the ACS knee system for use in knee arthroplasty. 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. Asymmetric design. Pronounced fins provide rotational stability of the component. 5 degree inclination of the plateau compared to the axis of the stem. The holes in the plateau of the cemented tibial component are filled with PMMA plugs. If required, the plugs can be removed to fix tibial spacer with a screw. Furthermore, the PMMA-plug of the cone can be removed if stem extensions are required. PE-insert is fixed to the tibial component via a snap-fit mechanism.
