Trekking® - Three-compartment knee prostheses

Trekking®

The implant system

Trekking is one of the most advanced systems for total knee arthroplasty available today. All

the principal technical and clinical issues have been analysed and solved in the most efficient

way, with a lot of new and exciting solutions.

One of the most important features is the flexibility of all the Components - primary and

revision, mobile and fixed, cruciate retaining, posterior stabilised or ultra-congruent,

cemented and uncemented - which can be implanted with the same set of instruments,

enabling the surgeon to choose the final Components at the very last moment, and even

to combine “hybrid” primary and revision Components in a single implant for maximum

customisation of the surgical treatment.

Fixed bearing

The fixed bearing system offers both Cruciate Retaining (CR) and Posterior Stabilized (PS)

options. The connection between the insert and the Tibial plate is secured by means of a

simple metal wire applied to the anterior part of the insert and a bowl-shaped Tibial plate with

a mirror-polished ‘floor’.

The Tibial plate is flat, with no additional spines, ripples or screw-holes, in order to minimize

backside polyethylene wear. The Tibial plate has a 4° posterior slope and a 6° articular

surface slope.
