NexGen® Complete Knee Solution Cruciate Retaining Knee (CR)
The NexGen CR, a "cruciate retaining" implant, is intended for patients who,
in the physician's judgement, have good bone stock and whose ligaments
provide adequate joint stability. The CR is frequently used for patients
undergoing a "primary" or first time total knee replacement surgery. The CR
is designed to help accommodate people with the ability and desire to
perform activities that require at least 0-120 degrees of flexion such as,
walking, sitting, and climbing stairs.NexGen CR Case Study
The x-rays shown are from a 59-year old female, a candidate for primary
total knee replacement surgery, who was diagnosed with degenerative
arthritis of the right knee. Her posterior cruciate ligament was in
excellent condition and her range of motion preoperatively was 0-95
degrees. Postoperatively, the patient recovered well and after
rehabilitation had a range of motion of 0-108 degrees. Note: This case
study represents the outcome of only one patient and results may vary.
