- Patient has signed an Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved, study specific Informed Patient Consent Form.
- Patient is a male or non-pregnant female age 20 years or older.
- Patient is candidate for primary Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA).
- Patient whose preoperative range of motion (ROM) is over 110 degree.
- Patient is willing and able to comply with postoperative scheduled clinical and radiographic evaluations and rehabilitation.
You may not qualify if:
- Revision cases
- Patients that use bone wedges or allograft due to bone loss.
- Patient has a Body Mass Index (BMI) \>40.
