Paragraph Number

182

A patient knee with a valgus condition may cause one or more problems or challenges in the kinematics of the knee as the knee transitions through various angles of flexion and/or extension. For example, a valgus knee may have impeded, or unnatural, tibiofemoral rotation within the medial tibial compartment during flexion of the knee joint. The impeded, or unnatural, tibiofemoral rotation may cause premature wear on components of the knee prosthesis system 3000, interfere with a patient’s balance, interfere with the patient’s gait or mobility, or the like.
