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.
