TRIATHLON PKR FEMORAL COMPONENT - Uncoated unicondylar knee femur prosthesis

Intended purpose

A femoral component of a modular unicondylar knee prosthesis that replaces the bearing surfaces of one femoral condyle and corresponding tibial condyle for either left or right knee. Indications: Moderately disabling joint disease of the knee resulting from painful osteo- or post traumatic arthritis; Revision of previous unsuccessful surgical procedures, either involving, or not involving, previous use of a unicompartmental knee prosthesis; As an alternative to tibial osteotomy in patients with unicompartmental osteoarthritis; or Where bone stock is of poor quality or inadequate for other reconstructive techniques as indicated by deficiencies of the femoral condyle/tibial plateau. These components are intended for implantation with bone cement.
