The 71420770 Uncoated Knee Tibia Prosthesis, Polyethylene, from Smith & Nephew, Inc., includes an articular insert size of 3-4, which provides a profound and anatomically precise fit for the patient's knee.
The Smith & Nephew 71420770 Genesis II Dished Articular Insert is a critical component of the Genesis II Total Knee System, designed to provide a stable and natural-feeling articulation for patients undergoing total knee replacement. This specific insert, sized 3-4 with a thickness of 13mm, is engineered to fit securely between the femoral and tibial components, replicating the function of natural cartilage. The dished geometry enhances anterior-posterior stability while allowing controlled rotational movement, helping to restore natural knee kinematics.
Manufactured from durable polyethylene, the insert offers excellent wear resistance and long-term performance without the need for surface coatings. Its uncoated design is suitable for patients where cementless fixation is not indicated or when surgeons prefer traditional cemented tibial tray applications. The 13mm thickness provides additional joint space and is commonly used to optimize soft tissue balance and joint alignment during total knee arthroplasty procedures.
The Genesis II system is known for its modularity, and this articular insert plays a crucial role in personalizing implant fit and performance based on patient anatomy and surgical objectives. With Smith & Nephew’s reputation for innovation and reliability, the 71420770 dished insert contributes to improved joint function, patient mobility, and implant longevity following total knee replacement surgery. It is a trusted choice for orthopedic surgeons seeking a proven, adaptable knee replacement solution.
