Orthopedics — Total Knee Replacement
Destiknee™
A primary knee replacement implant designed for optimal performance and longevity in total knee arthroplasty.
Orthopedics — Total Knee Replacement
A primary knee replacement implant designed for optimal performance and longevity in total knee arthroplasty.
The system
The Destiknee™ system is designed on the same fundamentals as the Freedom® knee. It is developed using advanced engineering technologies and extensive clinical experience to address the anatomical, physiological, and lifestyle needs of today’s patients.
It provides high-flexion and is a USFDA-approved and CE-certified knee implant.
Key features
The product should be administered according to the frequency determined by the physician — for example every 6, 8 or 12 months. The number of injections is a decision you and your doctor make together.
High-flexion design for increased range of motion
USFDA-approved and CE-certified
Clinical context
Knee replacement, also known as knee arthroplasty, is the procedure that involves cutting away damaged bone and cartilage from the thighbone and knee cap and replacing it with an artificial joint (prosthesis) made of metal alloys, high-grade plastics and polymers.
This procedure can aid in relieving pain and restoring function in severely diseased knee joints and arthritis.
FAQs
Answers are supplied in the Instructions for Use — request the full document below.
How is the Destiknee implant system intended to be used in surgery?
The Destiknee system is used during primary total knee arthroplasty to replace the femoral and tibial surfaces. Surgeons select appropriate component sizes, prepare the bone, and position the implants according to the detailed steps provided in the device’s instructions for use.
What surgical indications make a patient suitable for the Destiknee system ?
The Destiknee system is indicated for patients requiring primary knee replacement where both femoral and tibial components need reconstruction. Suitability is determined by the surgeon based on the extent of joint damage, alignment needs, and compliance with the device’s instructions for use.
What deployment steps are followed when positioning Destiknee components?
During implantation, the surgeon prepares the bone surfaces, aligns the trial components, and then implants the final femoral and tibial implants. Cemented or cement-free fixation may be selected as per the surgeon’s preference and instructions outlined in the device’s IFU.
How does a surgeon determine the appropriate sizing during Destiknee placement?
Sizing is determined intraoperatively using trial components and referencing anatomical landmarks. The surgeon evaluates component fit, alignment, and soft tissue balancing before final implantation, following the dedicated sizing and selection guidelines in the system’s IFU.
What follow-up considerations are recommended after Destiknee implantation?
Follow-up typically involves assessing implant fit, checking joint function, and monitoring long-term fixation. Surgeons review alignment, range of motion, and any device-specific considerations outlined in the IFU to ensure the components are performing as intended over time.
