Functional description
e.motion® UC is a rotating bicondylar surface replacement that allows, due to its ultra-congruent (UC) design, either preservation or resection of the posterior cruciate ligament. Functioning collateral ligaments, balances joint gaps and the highly congruent prosthesis design allow resecting the posterior cruciate ligament without femoral bone loss. e.motion AS UC/PS has an AS coating and is made from CoCrMo alloy. It is intended for cemented use.
