ENDOPROTHESE GENOU [1 record]

Record 1 2011-01-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Prostheses
CONT

There is no such total knee joint prosthesis that can mimic the complicated forms of surfaces of the knee joint and the "fuzzy biomechanics" of a healthy knee joint. Every total knee joint prosthesis is thus a compromise, that mimic only certain characteristics of the natural knee joint. The classification of total knee prostheses is equally "fuzzy".

CONT

A typical knee joint prosthesis has a femoral and tibial component, both of which is fixated to the respective bones.
