In addition, DJO Surgical will introduce the Movation™ Total Knee System with e+™ Technology
The Movation total knee replacement is the next phase in the evolution of a strong history of congruent PS Knee designs. Movation is a classic, decades-long clinically successful Hospital for Special Surgery design, re-defined with features that make it modern and high-performance. Complemented by the S.U.R.E. Instrumentation System, the Movation Knee is the dependable solution for a trusted and reproducible outcome.
DJO Surgical will also be introducing the Trabecular Titanium™ Acetabular System
The new Trabecular Titanium acetabular system will provide an aggressive fixation cup solution for tough primary or revision scenarios. Trabecular Titanium cups are manufactured using an electron beam melting technology which allows the porosity to be controlled and integral to the cup (not a coating). Trabecular Titanium has an extremely high friction coefficient at contact with the cancellous bone, which maximizes primary stability of the acetabular component and enhances bone integration.
DJO Global will be located in booth #3039 at the AAOS meeting.
