Sources

Flexible in a wide range of compatible implants to choose from
Anatomical design, for potential bone and soft tissue preservation
Expandable thanks to compatibility with MEGASYSTEM-C

Anatomically Adapted

6° valgus from the joint line
Tibial plateau with 8° slope to dorsal
The deep patellar articulating groove creates physiological patellar movement and patellar self-guidance²

Wide Range of Stems

Modular stems, cemented and cementless, for femur and tibia
Cemented monoblok stem for tibia

Reproducible Surgical Technique

Interfaces, tailored to the
LINK GEMINI SL Primary Knee
Modern, modular instrument set

Flexible

Intraoperative changeover from rotational to hinge knee with implant components in situ
Intraoperative flexibility because fully compatible with MEGASYSTEM-CTumor and Revision System¹

Designed for Reliability and Stability

Based on the LINK Endo-Model
Large “jump distance” for more secure knee flexion

Coupling and Decoupling in the Joint Plane

Minimal soft tissue distraction during reduction

Rotational Stability in Extension

Stability even if there is soft tissue damage
The implant was developed to achieve a natural gait – combined with maximum reliability

Potential for bone and soft tissue preservation

Coupling with only minor distraction and minimal soft tissue release
Optimal box dimensions conserve bone substance
