THE ORIGINAL Original Medial-Pivot Knee The MicroPort® Medial-Pivot Knee System was launched in 1998, making it the first Medial-Pivot Knee System available on the market. A culmination of years of research and design by Wright Medical and Dr. J. David Blaha resulted in a truly unique knee replacement design. Over 550,000 Medial-Pivot Knees to Date With over 20 years of documented usage, MicroPort Orthopedics 550,000+ line of Medial- Pivot products have been used in over 550,000 cases in 70 countries worldwide. 95% Satisfaction with the Medial-Pivot Knee Patient reported satisfaction with a...

BONE CONSERVING The Medial-Pivot femur is more bone conserving than that of traditional posterior stabilized knees, which require resection of more bone for the spine/cam mechanism. While also a posterior cruciate sacrificing (PS) device, there is no requirement to resect the box with the Medial-Pivot knee. STABILITY Maximizes Stability Throughout the Range of Motion Traditional knee replacements have been shown to exhibit anteriorposterior translation, which decreases stability and can cause early revisions3-4. Through medial ball-in-socket articulation, coupled with lateral mobility, the...

QUADRICEPS EFFICIENCY Increased Proprioception & Normal Feeling LEVEL WALKING The Medial-Pivot Knee System enhances quadriceps efficiency and reduces the quadriceps avoidance found in traditional knee replacements. By enhancing quadriceps efficiency, the patient can DOWN STAIRS have increased proprioception and a more normal feeling knee. 6 0 Patients Feel the Difference Patients can tell a difference according to a peer-reviewed study that exam- LESS EFFICIENT PATIENT PREFERRED MORE EFFICIENT ined patient satisfaction among patients who underwent bilateral staged total knee replacement...

Higher Forgotten Knee Score than Traditional Knee Systems Patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with the Medial-Pivot FORGOTTEN JOINT knee scored significantly better on the Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) than those who underwent a TKA with a modern posterior stabilized (PS) knee, particularly with regard to deep knee flexion and stability of the prosthesis.9 CONFORMITY High Conformity Without Constraint Unlike traditional multi-radius designs, the Medial-Pivot Knee System has a constant radius femoral component with a highly conforming tibial insert to provide stability in...

ANATOMIC GAP BALANCING Restore the Natural Asymmetric Balance of MCL & LCL The Medial-Pivot design does not only achieves more natural kinematics, but also allow for more anatomic gap balancing. As a result, a medially tighter and laterally looser gap can be achieved.12 WEAR LIMITING DESIGN Repeatable Motion Leads to Less Wear The design of the Medial-Pivot Knee System has been shown to have a lower wear potential in a comparative aspiration study, due to the repeatable motion path and minimized contact stresses. 13 MOTION More Natural Feeling Knee Movement In-vivo long-term clinical...

Individual results and activity levels after surgery vary and depend on many factors including age, weight and prior activity level. There are risks and recovery times associated with surgery and there are certain individuals who should not undergo surgery. References: 1.
