Mobile bearing knees help patients resume activities
[black small square]Zimmer NexGen LPS-Flex Mobile and LPS-Mobile Bearing Knees help restore natural knee kinematics for patients who wish to resume active lifestyles. LPS-Flex Mobile Knees accommodate up to 155 degrees of safe flexion while LPS-Mobile Bearing Knees accommodate up to 120 degrees of active flexion.
The system offers surgeons the freedom to select components based on the patient's willingness and ability to achieve high flexion. Specific design features help to maintain adequate tibiofemoral contact during high flexion and provide greater clearance for the patellar tendon. The rotation-only mobile-bearing design has a more anterior axis of rotation. Matching the femoral component with a size-specific mobile articular surface combines the stability of a posterior-stabilized design with a mobile-bearing component.
Zimmer NexGen LPS-Flex Mobile and LPS-Mobile Bearing Knees are compatible with the minimally invasive solutions procedures associated with smaller incisions, less blood loss, less pain, and a quicker recovery time.
