Gold Knee- 3D Armorcoat e+High Flexion Knee

If you suffer from debilitating knee pain, the
3DKnee™ System may get you moving again. In order for the surgeon to have access to the
joint, the ACL must be removed. The ACL is
one of four knee ligaments connecting the
upper leg bone (femur) with the lower leg bone
(tibia). It runs up the front and in between the
condyles of your shin and thigh bone and
stabilizes knee movement. Some patients lose
the functionality of this ligament long before
having a knee replacement. DJO Surgical
teamed with doctors at the Orthopedic Research
Laboratory to develop the innovative 3DKnee™. Using moving x-ray images of healthy, active,
total knees, and applying military imaging
technology to study the motions of knees with
artificial implants, DJO Surgical made
significant discoveries about the way healthy
and implanted knees behave. The 3DKnee is the result of more than a decade of research. This is truly the first knee developed to work in conjunction with the true kinematics of total knees. Based on a comprehensive analysis of knee kinematics through fluoroscopic review, tibial plateau resection and tibial insert retrieval analysis, an opportunity has been identified to improve on existing designs in total knee replacement. Reduction of Metal Ions
Chrome and nickel ions are undetectable
and the release of cobalt ions is reduced by
more than 90% with ArmorCoat versus an
uncoated, cobalt chrome substrate.1
