ADVANCE STATURE™
Designed for patients with narrow femurs.
The ADVANCE® Medial-Pivot and
Double-High Knees are designed to
reproduce normal motion and anatomy.
However, determining correct femoral
size is difficult in men or women with
a narrow distal femur.16 An implant
that fits front to back may
overhang from side to side.16 To prevent
overhang, a smaller implant with a
shorter side to side dimension
may be utilized.17 Respectively, this can lead to soft (non-bone) tissue interference or instability when bending the knee during weight bearing such as decending stairs.
ADVANCE STATURE™ Femoral Components (represented in teal) are designed to accommodate those male or female femora with a larger front to back dimension than side to side. This helps ensure that patients will receive the best implant fit possible.
