3DKnee™ System
Active Confidence in Every Step.
The 3DKnee is a premium high flexion total knee replacement designed after a decade of research. The 3DKnee instills confidence through every step of the total knee replacement process, from the surgeon’s joint selection decision, to the surgical procedure and patient post-operative function.

Walt's Ride - Surgical Knee Patient Testimonial
Features & Benefits
Components
Tibial Component
- Asymmetric baseplate
- Winged keeled geometry
- Two tibia size options for each 3DKnee insert
Femoral Component
- Congruent lateral condyle
- Deepened and lateralized patella groove
- Wide medial condyle
- Constant axis curvature for increased contact area up to 80°
Insert
- Direct Compression Molded or e+™ options
- Congruent lateral condyle
- Size specific for optimal congruency to the femur
- Centered posteriorly to encourage increased femoral rollback
- Wide medial condyle to reduce contact stresses
Domed Patella
- Domed Geometry for optimal contact area with the deepened trochlear groove
- Available in sizes 26-38mm
