UNICOMPARTMENTAL MENISCAL PROSTHETIC DEVICE SURGICALLY IMPLANTABLE BETWEEN THE FEMORAL CONDYLE AND TIBIAL PLATEAU

摘要

: A self-centering meniscal prosthesis device suitable for minimally invasive, surgical implantation into the cavity between a femoral condyle and the corresponding tibial plateau is composed of a hard, high modulus material shaped such that the contour of the device and the natural articulation of the knee exerts a restoring force on the free-floating device.
