Total Joint Orthopedics (TJO) announced completion of the first revision total knee arthroplasties using its Universal Cone System.
Adding the Universal Cones to TJO’s Klassic Revision Knee allows the flexibility of a cruciate retaining primary through revision in only three trays of instruments. The anatomical sizing of the Universal Cone affords use in both the tibia and the femur, and offers a methodology to provide a more bone-conserving approach while accommodating a variety of bone loss and patient anatomy. A guided ream-only technique ensures precise placement and a customized patient-fit.
“The bone-sparing design of the Universal Cone allows surgeons to provide a customizable fit for their patients,” said Erin Hofmann, TJO’s CEO. “Other systems have had wide, fixed taper angles that require significant bone resection even with small sizes. Our Universal Cones offer narrower taper angles designed for the femur and small tibial defects, and larger taper angles to provide coverage for larger tibial/femoral defects while minimizing the amount of bone resection required.”
