UNI KROMA® is an anatomical, fixed-bearing, unicompartmental prosthesis.
The tibial component is available in a metal-backed version (cemented or uncemented) and an all-polyethylene (all PE) version.
Fitting may be performed using a conventional technique or with custom instrumentation.
The instrumentation is original in that it is HYBRID.
Characteristics :
The UNI KROMA® prosthesis is anatomical as it is comprised of a femoral component, a tibial baseplate and an insert which are asymmetrical: Internal Left/External Right or Internal Right/External Left.
The femoral component and tibial baseplate are available in 6 sizes.
For the metal-backed version, the insert is available in 6 sizes and 4 thicknesses.
The all-PE baseplate is available in 6 sizes and 5 thicknesses.
Materials :
Cemented and cementless femoral component: Cobalt Chrome (CoCr) with dual coating for the cementless version (Titanium spray T40 + HA).
Cementless tibial baseplate: Titanium (TA6V) with dual coating (Titanium spray T40 + HA).
Cemented tibial baseplate: Cobalt Chrome (CoCr).
All-PE baseplate and insert: Polyethylene.
INSTRUMENTS
The instrumentation is called “hybrid” because it combines metallic parts and disposable polyamide parts (Single Use).
The technique of fitting with tailor-made instrumentation makes it possible to make the tibial cuts AND the distal femoral cut.
INDICATIONS
The UNI KROMA® prosthesis is an unicompartmental prosthesis which is recommended in the following cases :
Primary or secondary isolated osteoarthritis of the internal or external femorotibial compartment of the knee;
Isolated necrosis of the internal or external condyle of the knee.
