The addition of new implant components has expanded the BPK-S Integration knee system into a comprehensive full system that provides solutions for nearly every initial setting in total knee arthroplasty. The use of stems is required for the fixation of the components of the Semi-Constrained (SC), Rotating Hinge (RH), and Total Hinge (TH) systems. This manual describes the intramedullary implantation technique for the Semi-Constrained (SC) components and for the Rotating Hinge and Total Hinge (RH and TH) components. The existing Unconstrained (UC) version with the "Fix", "Mobile", and "Deep Dish" insert options has been expanded to include the Semi-Constrained (SC) design. Rotating or Total Hinge (RH, TH) designs are also available with two knee axis versions to address high-grade instability.
Consistency
MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY AND EFFECTIVENESS
Compatibility between systems and modularity
Freely selectable degree of constraint and level of stability
Efficient modular implant system
Uncompromised stability
STABLE AND RELIABLE RESTORATION OF JOINT KINEMATICS
Joint stability over the entire weight-bearing articulation
No compromise between congruence and freedom of motion
Excellent abrasion behaviour
Efficience
EFFICIENT AND PRECISE SURGICAL TECHNIQUE:
Primary implantation
Soft-tissue based surgical technique with constant monitoring of joint space
Precise balance of joint space in extension and flexion prior to the first osteotomy
No distal reference osteotomy, secondary resection largely avoided
Revision
Stable and efficient setup for revision cases
Joint line reconstruction with reference stems
Joint space in extension and flexion balanced prior to the first osteotomy
