New Design of Femoral Prosthetic That Increases Flexion
Massachusetts General Hospital
posted on 05/12/2011
Technology: The new design in the femoral prosthetic increases the flexion capability of the knee by decreasing the medial femoral condyle height. The current designs for femoral components create restrictions on rotation and flexion of the knee. This design allows the knee to flex up to 150 degrees, which enables allowing the patient to improve their ability to move during various activities. The current designs only allow up to a 115 degrees flexion thereby limiting the patients ability to be active in certain situations. There is a significant need in the market for a knee with increased rotation and flexion capabilities. Applications: - Knee prosthesis Advantages: - Increased flexion/range of motion - Easily modify existing models - No new surgical procedure needed - Prevents over tensioning on ligaments
