RSK™ Tibial Tray

Key Features and Benefits of Tibial Tray

Tibial Tray is a specialized orthopedic implant designed to provide a stable and durable base for the tibial component in knee joint replacement procedures. This essential component is available in various materials, such as polyethylene or metal, to suit specific patient needs and preferences. Tibial Trays are engineered for enhanced durability and wear resistance, ensuring long-lasting performance. By restoring natural knee joint motion and reducing friction, Tibial Bearings contribute to improved function, reduced pain, and enhanced patient outcomes. These bearings are compatible with different knee joint implant systems, offering versatility and adaptability in surgical procedures. Overall, Tibial Bearings play a crucial role in the success of knee joint replacement, providing a reliable and effective solution for patients seeking improved knee health and function.

Indications for Tibial Tray

Tibial Tray is a specialized orthopedic implant designed for use in knee joint replacement procedures. It is indicated for patients who:

• Require knee joint replacement: Patients with severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or other conditions that have led to significant damage to the knee joint may benefit from knee joint replacement.
• Need a new tibial tray: Patients who require a replacement tibial tray due to wear, tear, or other issues may benefit from this implant.
• Have specific anatomical or surgical requirements: Tibial Trays are available in various materials and sizes to accommodate different patient needs and surgical techniques.
• Desire a durable and reliable implant: Tibial Trays are designed to provide long-term durability and performance, improving knee joint function and reducing pain.
• Have realistic expectations: Patients should have realistic expectations about the benefits and potential risks of knee joint replacement surgery.

How Does The Tibial Tray Work

Tibial Tray is a specialized orthopedic implant designed to provide a stable and durable base for the tibial component in knee joint replacement procedures. It typically consists of a metal base plate with a polyethylene bearing surface.

During knee joint replacement surgery, the damaged tibial component is removed and the Tibial Tray is positioned on the tibia. The tray is then secured in place using screws or cement, depending on the specific surgical technique and patient anatomy. Once in place, the femoral component, which includes the femoral condyle, articulates against the Tibial Bearing surface.

The Tibial Tray plays a crucial role in the success of knee joint replacement. It provides a stable and durable foundation for the femoral component to articulate against, reducing friction and wear. The polyethylene bearing surface provides a smooth and low-friction gliding surface, minimizing pain and improving joint function. The biocompatibility of the material ensures minimal tissue reaction and long-term durability, contributing to improved patient outcomes.
