| Item | Genesis II® Total Knee System |
| Features | A deeper, more lateralized trochlear groove improves patellar contact and tracking.
An externally rotated femoral implant design optimizes femorotibial rotational alignment and reduces the likelihood of notching the lateral anterior cortex.
Anatomically-shaped tibial baseplates have an improved fin design and significantly improve coverage of the tibia as compared to symmetrical designs.
Versatile, simple instrumentation, comprehensive in function and fewer in number, reduces surgical time, makes intraoperative management easier, and provides a more precise fit.
Thoughtful versatility reduces the number of implant components yet significantly expands your clinical options.
Wear is reduced by improving contact area and reducing contact stress in all articular surfaces.
All articular surfaces are polished, including the proximal tibia. A nondegrading form of sterilization is used on all polyethylene.
Dedicated cruciate retaining, posterior stabilized, low demand, and revision systems have been designed to meet the individual needs of each clinical and economic situation. |
| Description | The Genesis II® Total Knee System will define the state of knee implants. Now, far more is possible with less - reducing inventory requirements and increasing surgical options, while fully addressing both clinical and cost situations. The GENESIS II femoral components meet these design goals, giving surgeons creative solutions tomeet todays surgical demands. Clinical issues such as patellar tracking and polyethylene wear are addressed, as well as the economic realities of reducing inventory and decreasing O.R. time. The GENESIS II femoral components feature asymmetric posterior condyles, providing balanced flexion and extension. |
