Suitable for
Patellar components in total knee arthroplasty are suitable for resurfacing the patella, replacing the worn-out or damaged articular surface of the kneecap, with potential benefits for patellofemoral joint function and patient outcomes.
Description
- A three-peg patellar component in total knee arthroplasty is typically used for cement fixation of the patella.
- It replaces the older design of a single, central peg with three smaller pegs for potentially better and more stable fixation.
- This design aims to reduce the risk of patellar fracture and loosening compared to the single-peg design.
