| Advance Double-High Knee
System
  
The ADVANCE® Double-High Knee represents
the beginning of the modern age in cruciate-retaining knees.
To manage more dynamic function, the ADVANCE®
Double-High Knee articular surface features a clinically proven,
raised anterior lip and PCL-guided flexion path which work
in conjunction to provide anterior stability and allow deep
natural flexion.
Raised Anterior Lip - High Flexion. High
Stability.
- Reduces anterior sliding (paradoxical motion)
by maintaining the femur within the posterior 1/3rd of the
tibial insert 1,2,3
- Increases range of motion by avoiding impingement in flexion
and lengthening the quadriceps lever arm4,5
- Enhances anterior stability
- May share anterior stresses placed upon the posterior cruciate
ligament (PCL)
- Theoretically allows longer, more effective PCL function
- May inhibit PCL loosening (a common complication among cruciate
retaining knees)6,7,8
- May substitute for the PCL in the event of rupture
The ADVANCE® Double-High Knee features
a low profile posterior rim (2A) and lateral relief (2B) to
prevent interference as the PCL guides the femur in flexion.
