Intended purpose

Oxinium unicompartmental knee femoral implant. Unicompartmental knee implants are indicated for restoring either compartment of a knee that has been affected by the following: 1. Noninflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, or avascular necrosis; 2. Correction of functional deformity; 3. Revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed; and 4. Treatment of fractures that are unmanageable using other techniques. Unicompartmental knee implants are single use only and are intended for implantation only with bone cement.

Functional description

The femoral implant mimics the distal condyle's normal, anatomic shape by following a 10 degree A/P angle allowing the left medial component to be used on the right lateral condyle, and the right medial component to be used on the left lateral condyle. The cemented femoral implant articulates with a polyethylene tibial insert in a metal tibial tray.
