Removing The Guesswork
Without Removing Quality Bone.
With the increased prevalence of unicompartmental
knee arthroscopy (UKA), a system which provides a conservative
approach in terms of both instrumentation and implant design,
is critically important. To address this, the ADVANCE®
Unicompartmental Knee System was designed with bone conserving
femoral and tibial components that provide reproducible results
within a minimal incision.
Wright Medical has accomplished this with the following 3
system design requirements:
Conservation
The resurfacing femoral implant conserves 20% more quality
bone stock compared to contemporary full resection femoral
implants.1 An all-poly tibial base design conserves bone while
providing proven outcomes based on cortical bone support in
place of inlay techniques.2
Congruency
Increased medial-lateral tibiofemoral congruency modernizes
the ADVANCE® Uni Knee contact area to total knee implant
standards.3,4 Semi-Congruent anterior/posterior tibiofemoral
interface provides superior contact area while allowing for
freedom in implant placement.
Consistency
Consistent alignment and reproducible clinical results are
obtained through an instrumented minimal incision technique.
Increased tibial implant fixation and more consistent clinical
outcomes are provided with a dual peg tibial base design.
