Despite many achievements and advances, issues regarding articular conformity, patellofemoral tracking, and instrumentation performance prevailed. These issues called for better solutions to achieve more reliable long-term success. The Duracon System represents fresh design philosophies that offer solutions to put total knee arthroplasty on the right track. From straightforward primary to complex revision scenarios, continuity of design throughout the modular Duracon Total Knee System facilitates smooth intraoperative transitions and minimizes the degree of bone resections. By maximizing the conformity and contact between femorotibial articulating surfaces, the Duracon System reduces the point contact stress associated with accelerated wear.
Monogram instruments promote accuracy and reproducibility, simplifying and expediting surgery.
