Medacta launched GMK SpheriKA, reported to be the world’s first kinematic alignment (KA)-optimized femoral component indicated for total knee replacement.
The concept of Kinematic Alignment addresses restoration of the native pre-arthritic alignment through anatomic resurfacing, minimizing ligament releases and allowing for a more natural knee kinematic. Clinical studies have highlighted that GMK Sphere is a particularly suitable implant for Kinematic Alignment, with the potential to further enhance patient outcomes compared to other knee designs.
Built upon the legacy of the GMK Sphere’s ball-in-socket design, GMK SpheriKA offers patients an implant that potentially feels more natural and stable during daily activities, replicating the movement of the healthy knee. GMK SpheriKA features optimized femoral coverage and patellar tracking for Kinematic Alignment procedures, which Medacta believes to be the first implant on the market specifically designed for this technique.
MyKA, Medacta’s Kinematic Alignment Platform, provides surgeons with a solution to reproducibly perform Kinematic Alignment.
