Medial stabilized inserts are being used more frequently now in total knee arthroplasty procedures, according to Smith+Nephew. Procedural trends are moving more toward bone-conservative Cruciate Retaining (CR) femoral designs and away from Posterior Stabilized (PS) design types.

“We’re entering an exciting era in knee replacement, driven by the momentum of personalized medicine and an influx of innovative approaches,” said Dr. Steve McDonald, Chief of Orthopaedics and Chief of Surgery at London Health Sciences Centre in London, Ontario. “With US registry data now showing that one in three total knees utilize a medial stabilized design, it’s clear that surgeons are increasingly turning to solutions that offer more natural kinematics and higher patient satisfaction. The Legion Medial Stabilized TKS stands out in this space – offering a powerful combination of medial stabilized kinematics, advanced porous fixation, integration with technologies like the CORI Surgical System, and a strong clinical legacy. It’s an ideal solution for surgeons looking to align with the principles of personalized care.”
