How Does The SKII™ PS (Complex Primary Knee, Posterior Stabilized) Work

SKII™ PS (Complex Primary Knee, Posterior Stabilized) is a specialized knee replacement implant designed to restore function and reduce pain in patients with complex primary knee conditions. The implant features a posterior stabilized design, which provides enhanced stability and prevents dislocation of the knee joint.

During surgery, the damaged knee joint is removed and replaced with the SKII™ PS implant. The implant is secured in place using screws or cement, depending on the surgeon’s preference and the patient’s specific needs. The implant’s design allows for natural movement and weight-bearing, mimicking the function of the original knee joint.

The posterior stabilized design of SKII™ PS offers exceptional stability, making it particularly suitable for patients with complex knee conditions. The implant’s durable construction and biocompatible materials ensure long-term performance and minimize tissue reaction. By providing a reliable and effective solution for complex primary knee replacements, SKII™ PS can significantly improve a patient’s quality of life and restore normal knee function.
