Intended purpose

A cemented single-piece tibial component of a Medial unicompartmental knee replacement prosthesis. Indicated when; • Medial compartment osteoarthritis or avascular necrosis with a well-preserved lateral compartment presenting an intact meniscus and full thickness cartilage. • Normally functioning Anterior and Posterior cruciate ligaments • Varus deformity able to be passively corrected and in any case lower than 15°. • Flexion contracture less than 15°. • Patello-femoral arthritis is not considered a contraindication. • Age, weight and patient activity level are not considered a contraindication for Unicompartmental knee replacement.

Functional description

A cemented single-piece all-poly tibial component of a unicompartmental knee replacement prosthesis composed of UHMW-PE. Anterior chamfer to avoid potential patellar conflicts. Flat articular surface to facilitate a linear contact with the condyle and better distribute the loading forces.
