Consensus Knee System
The Consensus Knee System has been developed on a foundation of established design principles, proven clinical experience and intelligent engineering. The result is a Knee System incorporating state-of-the-art features providing excellent performance – predictably and reproducibly.
Femoral Components
- Deepened patellar groove reduces lateral stress on patella
- Porous Titanium Surface Technology optional2
- Anatomic six degree patellar groove
- CoCr bearing surface for wear resistance
Tibial Baseplates
- Asymmetric shape provides optimal cortical rim coverage
- Anatomic medialized cruciate stem3 avoids impingement on lateral and posterior bone; cruciate stem provides superior stability
- Four optional peripheral pegs provide additional rotational stability
- Stemmed and resurfacing (non-stemmed) options
- CoCr with optional Porous Titanium Surface Technology4
Tibial Inserts
- Congruent design enhances joint stability and increases contact area to reduce wear
- Secure front loading dovetail locking mechanism provides resistance to insert disassociation and micro motion
Patella
- Oval design increases the coverage of lateral aspect of the resected bone and improves contact area in flexion
- Medialized spherical dome anatomically positions apex of the patella
- Patellar instrumentation1 allows components to be recessed for enhanced stability
- All-poly and metal backed components provide 10mm of replacement
- 7.5mm all-poly components for use with onlay technique
Titanium Surface Technology
Consensus Orthopedics Titanium Surface Technology is available on key regions of Consensus Knee components to provide an enhanced mechanical interface. The Porous Titanium Bead structure is coated with a plasma deposition process that further enhances adhesion to the porous area.
