Mobile Knee CR & UCOR Fix Knee FIXCR & FIXUC & SC
The right prosthesis for every patient

The introduction of the Innex System (Innex stands for «Innovation Nexus Next Generation») in 2001 was an important step in the understanding of the demanding problems connected with the endoprosthetic treatment of degenerative diseases of the knee joint. Re-establishment of the natural anatomical relationships between the femur, tibia and patella, together with physiological axis alignment, is a decisive factor if patients are to be treated successfully with predictable and reproducible results.

At the same time, optimum anchoringn principles and the Cancellous Structured Titanium™ (CSTi™) Porous Coating have set a so far unequalled standard for the cementless fixation of knee prostheses. The aim of the Innex system is to cover as many indications as possible in the field of total knee endoprosthetics. This is possible with a minimum of components. Both mobile (Mobile Bearing) and fixed (Fixed Bearing) meniscus components can be used.

The whole Innex knee system is based on one single surgical technique. This means that the instrument set can be kept compact and limited in range. Thanks to the modular structure of the Innex knee system, the instrument set is far smaller than that of other systems.

Anatomically shaped implants, coupled with the logical and extremely precise instrument set, enable conservative treatment of degenerative diseases with bonesparing resections as well as extensive restoration of the natural kinematics of the knee joint.

The multi-centre study has shown that very good results are achieved through a combination of newly developed and proven design principles.

Thanks to the combination of all these criteria, the Innex knee system offers four key advantages in times of rising healthcare costs and heavy cuts in healthcare budgets:

• High level of patient satisfaction and return to almost normal conditions of life.
• Shorter times for surgery thanks to the efficient and logical instruments.
• Significant savings in terms of hospital inventory thanks to the possibility of combining the implant components according to individual requirements and the wide range of indications that can be treated with this system
• Instrument trays developed and simplified with the close co-operation of surgeons and theatre nurses, so as to make the work of the surgical staff much easier.

Femur Component
The asymmetric cobalt-chromium femoral component allows an optimal reconstruction of the natural anatomy. The design of the femur SC component is very similar to the primary femur thus it profits from the same design characteristics.

Tibia Component
The Innex knee system offers a mobile or fix, cemented or cementless version. The tibia fix component is applicable in the primary and sc surgery. It can also be used in combination with stems and spacers.

PE Meniscus Inlay
The inlays made of milled high density polyethylene are available in the "congruent", "ultracongruent" and "SC" version. Thus the surgeon benefits from the intraoperative flexibility to remove or hold up the posterior cruciate ligament.
For the SC a separate inlay was developed, which includes a guided-pin for giving stability.

Patella Component
Thanks to its adapted dome-shaped geometry, a high degree of congruence with the femoro-patellar joint is achieved.

Spacer
The tibia spacers are available with three different proximal thicknesses. This ensures that the surgeon can use the spacers with great flexibility, inserting them on the basis of the individual indications

Stems
For a good solution by complicated bone structures there is a big range of stems available for primary and secondary surgeries. The stems are available in various lengths and diameters.
