How Will It Feel?

Having a knee replaced after months or years of suffering from arthritis should allow you to enjoy reduced pain and improved mobility.³

A key factor in the way a knee implant feels is the way the knee cap (patella) moves when you bend your knee. From the earliest knee designs, surgeons have struggled to re-create the correct patellar tracking and limb alignment to ensure you have a comfortable, natural feel and function.

Optetrak’s contoured femoral component with its deep groove is a feature designed to reduce strain on the surrounding ligaments. This allows for more natural patellar tracking as you bend or straighten your knee. If the femoral groove is too shallow, the patella can ride up unnaturally on the edges of the implant–or even dislocate.

Optetrak knee system provides the potential for excellent range of motion with up to 125-145 degrees of flexion (bending).

The Optetrak system includes streamlined, modern surgical instrumentation so your surgery can be as quick and efficient as possible. Its Low Profile Instrumentation™ provides options for alternative surgical approaches such as reduced incision size (if appropriate for your unique situation), which can minimize your hospital stay and allow for the speediest possible recovery.
