Introduction
The ANTHEM™ PS Total Knee System has been designed to offer
orthopaedic surgeons solutions to address a range of intraoperative
situations. Proper implant function is dependant on an extensive
and accurate surgical technique. The ORTHOMATCH™ Universal
Instrumentation system is designed to be used with ANTHEM
to provide an easy to use system that facilitates accurate and
reproducible surgical outcome. The system is designed to
accommodate either a minimally invasive or standard surgical incision
and exposure.
While it is the designers’ objective to develop accurate, easy-to-use
instrumentation, each surgeon must evaluate the appropriateness
of the following technique based on his or her medical training,
experience and the specific patient clinical evaluation.
Indications
Indications for use include rheumatoid arthritis; post-traumatic
arthritis, osteoarthritis or degenerative arthritis; failed osteotomies or
unicompartmental replacement. The ANTHEM PS Total Knee System is
designed for use in patients in primary total knee replacement surgery,
where the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments are not fully
functional and the collateral ligaments remain intact.
